Judge ups sentence for Detroit playground shooter

A 4-year-old boy’s relative held up a $9 plastic-wrapped ski mask to the judge, then a tattered Mickey Mouse doll. Samir Grubbs, 4, was killed over the first item, his adult cousin Kai El said. In his memory, she said she carries around the second. Brandon Ware, 20, of Detroit, was sentenced to 28 to 60 years in prison in the playground killings of Grubbs and 18-year-old Daviyon Shelmonson-Bey following an unusual and emotional hearing Friday, Nov. 13 in front of Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Chandra Baker-Robinson. Prosecutors accused Ware of firing shots at Skinner Playfield on the city’s east side on June 27, 2025, because his ski mask was ripped off his face on a bus earlier that day and he believed he was shooting in the direction of those involved. Ware pleaded guilty in his case in October and Baker-Robinson agreed to sentence him to 25 to 30 years in prison for his two first-degree murder charges, plus two years in prison for the charges he faced for possessing a firearm in the commission of a felony. However, after hearing comments from relatives like El and having loved ones of the slain march out of the courtroom

Feedback due on latest Archdiocese of Detroit restructuring models

Local Catholics and parish leaders in the Archdiocese of Detroit face a Nov. 16 deadline to submit feedback on the organization's latest models that show where weekend Masses may stop at churches across the region as part of a massive restructuring plan. The Archdiocese of Detroit, which serves 900,000 Catholics in southeast Michigan, is in the midst of a major two-year plan to "right-size" its resources amid declining church attendance, fewer priests and aging buildings. In mid-October, the archdiocese unveiled the latest models for 15 planning areas across six southeast Michigan counties that show where Masses could eventually cease. All told, Mass could potentially stop at 106 churches. Archdiocese officials haven't said those churches would close, but acknowledge that is an option, and that it would be up to church leaders under a pastorate model. "With a smaller portion regularly attending Mass, we've been struggling to maintain buildings, ministries and structures designed for much larger church," said Archbishop Edward Weisenburger in a video message about the restructuring on the archdiocese's website. "It's left us stretched, sometimes stretched too thin to serve as fully or as generously as we want." The new models, available on the archdiocese's website , were based
