00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Word on the streets of Detroit brings both reflection and

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.799
<v Speaker 1>resilience this week as our city faces hard truths and

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.519
<v Speaker 1>continued hope. Good morning, listeners, I'm Morgan Riley. Hear from

4
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.599
<v Speaker 1>the heart of the Motor City, ready to keep you

5
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:18.199
<v Speaker 1>informed and connected. Our top story. Detroit's East Side is

6
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>mourning after a tragic hit and run late Saturday at

7
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Chalmers and Seymour. According to Fox to Detroit, a mother

8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 1>lost her life when a driver ran a red light,

9
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>causing the fatal accident before fleeing the scene. Family and

10
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>friends gathered with heartfelt tributes and a balloon release, determined

11
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>not to let this loss go unnoticed. Detroit police continue

12
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to ask for public help in solving the case, underscoring

13
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>how critical community vigilance remains in seeking justice and safety.

14
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>In contrast to these somber moments, there's a positive trend.

15
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Detroit's crime rate continues to decline. Police preliminary numbers released

16
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>this week show homicides, non fatal shootings, and carjackings all

17
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.159
<v Speaker 1>tracking well below last year's low statistics. In fact, the

18
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.719
<v Speaker 1>city had its fewest homicides since nineteen sixty five. Detroit's

19
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 1>efforts to build on neighborhood investments, youth programs, and collaborative

20
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>policing are quietly making a difference, yet each incident reminds

21
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>us there's still work ahead. In another powerful moment, this week,

22
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Detroit families and local leaders came together at the Ernest

23
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>t Ford Recreation Center for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Attorney

24
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>General Dana Nessel and community advocates like Pastor Brenda Evans

25
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Nuwell called for greater awareness and resources. This event, supported

26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>by the McDonald Phelps Foundation, who've raised twenty five thousand

27
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars since two thousand nine, highlights the lifeline's detroiters are

28
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>building for one another, especially as funding on certainties grow.

29
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Now for a human interest spotlight that illustrates Detroit's enduring spirit.

30
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>This week, organizers behind the Detroit Harvest Fest are finalizing

31
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>preparations for the up coming grand opening of the new

32
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.480

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.520

36
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.240
