Speaker 1: Word on the streets of Detroit brings both reflection and

Speaker 1: continued hope. Good morning, listeners, I'm Morgan Riley. Hear from
Speaker 1: the heart of the Motor City, ready to keep you
Speaker 1: informed and connected. Our top story. Detroit's East Side is
Speaker 1: mourning after a tragic hit and run late Saturday at
Speaker 1: Chalmers and Seymour. According to Fox to Detroit, a mother
Speaker 1: lost her life when a driver ran a red light,
Speaker 1: causing the fatal accident before fleeing the scene. Family and
Speaker 1: friends gathered with heartfelt tributes and a balloon release, determined
Speaker 1: not to let this loss go unnoticed. Detroit police continue
Speaker 1: to ask for public help in solving the case, underscoring
Speaker 1: how critical community vigilance remains in seeking justice and safety.
Speaker 1: In contrast to these somber moments, there's a positive trend.
Speaker 1: Detroit's crime rate continues to decline. Police preliminary numbers released
Speaker 1: this week show homicides, non fatal shootings, and carjackings all
Speaker 1: tracking well below last year's low statistics. In fact, the
Speaker 1: city had its fewest homicides since nineteen sixty five. Detroit's
Speaker 1: efforts to build on neighborhood investments, youth programs, and collaborative
Speaker 1: policing are quietly making a difference, yet each incident reminds
Speaker 1: us there's still work ahead. In another powerful moment, this week,
Speaker 1: Detroit families and local leaders came together at the Ernest
Speaker 1: t Ford Recreation Center for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Attorney
Speaker 1: General Dana Nessel and community advocates like Pastor Brenda Evans
Speaker 1: Nuwell called for greater awareness and resources. This event, supported
Speaker 1: by the McDonald Phelps Foundation, who've raised twenty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars since two thousand nine, highlights the lifeline's detroiters are
Speaker 1: building for one another, especially as funding on certainties grow.
Speaker 1: Now for a human interest spotlight that illustrates Detroit's enduring spirit.
Speaker 1: This week, organizers behind the Detroit Harvest Fest are finalizing
Speaker 1: preparations for the up coming grand opening of the new
Speaker 1: Ralph C. Wilson Junior Centennial Park, set for October twenty
Speaker 1: fifth and twenty sixth. This two day celebration on the
Speaker 1: riverfront promises live entertainment, fall activities, delicious food trucks, and
Speaker 1: free fund for all ages. The twenty two acre park
Speaker 1: marks not just a transformation of landscape, but of opportunity,
Speaker 1: offering a fresh gathering place for neighbors new and old
Speaker 1: looking toward arts and entertainment. Theater lovers can enjoy Disney's
Speaker 1: Beauty and the Beast at the Fisher Theater through October twelfth,
Speaker 1: while music fans can see Chrissette Michelle with Jay Brown
Speaker 1: at the Motor City Casino Hotel on October eighth. And
Speaker 1: if storytelling is your thing, Detroit story Fest returns to
