FRIDAY NEWS HIT - The Wayne County Sheriff's deputy who died after an inmate attacked him in a Detroit jail last week will be laid to rest today at the Third New Baptist Church.
Cpl. Bryant Searcy, 50, left behind a lot of friends and coworkers who loved him when he died. Survived by his wife and daughter, his loss isn't one that many will forget.
"My dad was a caring and loving kind and compassionate father. He always looked out for me and my mom," said his daughter Chasadie. "I feel like he played that role as a father figure to multiple people in our community and in his life."
Deandre Williams, 28, is accused of killing Searcy while the corporal was locking down the jail last week. A violent struggle ensued that left Searcy unconscious before he eventually succumbed to his injuries after being hospitalized.
Williams, who was in jail on charges of carjacking, now faces life in prison.

Family heartbroken after 6-year-old killed in crash with speeding driver
Detroit police say a speeding driver likely ignored a red light at Plymouth and the Southfield Service Drive when they smashed into a van that Nala, her aunt, and two cousins were in.
While Elizabeth Harris, Nala's aunt recently woke up from a coma and is still in a condition, Nala, at 6 years old, died.
"Furious is an understatement," Nala's mom Karone Law said. "My emotions that I'm feeling, there is no words for. My baby was snatched from me."
"She feeds the community, she's always giving back," said Willie Robinson, Elizabeth Harris' father. "They love her. (As a) matter of fact, her nickname is Liz Love because everyone loves her and that's what she puts in her food."

Fraser man says that Grosse Pointe Park police totaled his car

A police report confirms everything that Smith described what happened. The department picked up the tow bill from the accident but has declined to help any further.
Police also tell FOX 2 they haven't had any complaints from Smith about what happened. The problem for Smith, he has no collision insurance anymore so the cost to repair the vehicle is on him. He is asking the city to pick up the tab.
