Detroit Adult Entertainment: Drive-By Shooting at Detroit Bus Stop Injures 7 Teenagers
June 30, 2009 at 10:37 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsA gas station owner, Steve Hakim, said he had seen two people with T-shirts covering their heads run across his lot toward the bus stop. Then, Mr. Hakim said, he heard about 10 gunshots, saw a boy and a girl fall and called 911.
The police were reviewing video taken from the gas station’s security cameras, Mr. Hakim said.
A schools spokesman, Steve Wasko, said there was “nothing that we’re aware of at this time” linking the shootings with any fight or dispute at the school. Mr. Wasko said the shootings happened at 2:15 p.m., about 15 minutes after summer school students had been dismissed for the day.
Imam Abdullah El-Amin, an owner of Numan Funeral Home near the intersection where the shooting took place, said drug dealing, prostitution and “hopelessness” were common in the area.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Synagro bribery case leaks probed
June 30, 2009 at 4:36 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsGerald K. Evelyn, a Detroit criminal attorney representing Greene, did not respond to a call or an e-mail Monday.
Riddle is a former top aide to Detroit City Council President Pro-Tem Monica Conyers, who on Friday pleaded guilty to bribery conspiracy and announced her resignation Monday.
Conyers admitted she took about $6,000 in cash for voting in favor of a $1.2 billion sewage sludge hauling and treatment contract awarded to Synagro in the fall of 2007. Conyers switched to supporting the contract, allowing it to pass 5-4.
Riddle, who has said his telephone was tapped in connection with the Synagro investigation, could not be reached for comment Monday. He is under investigation as a possible conduit for payments to Conyers and has denied accusations he shook down strip club owners who needed a City Hall license transfer.
