List: Juneteenth celebrations happening in Detroit

DETROIT – Thursday is Juneteenth—also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day. It commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

It marks June 19, 1865, when Union Army Major General Gordan Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, announcing that enslaved African Americans were free—two years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth started as an informal celebration by the people of Galveston but eventually reached Texas and other parts of the country.

Juneteenth became a national holiday in 2021, and on Thursday, many communities are celebrating in their own way.

Here’s a list of events happening in Detroit on June 19:

At Hart Plaza, a block party starts at 12 p.m. The team from Afrofuture Detroit and Detroit vs. Everybody will have music, food and more.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be at the Greater Grace Temple, playing music by African American composers. The free performance starts at 7 p.m.
Roots, Rhythm and Flow is starting at Valade Park on the Detroit Riverfront. There will be music, games and resources for housing and health. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Detroit’s 2025 Juneteenth Parade and Celebration will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., beginning at Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church on W Grand Boulevard.
The Detroit Association of Black Organizations and DoorDash will host a Juneteenth food giveaway at the Bridge Center Library from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.

A teenage male is recovering and police are investigating after a shooting near a school on the east side of Detroit on Friday night.

According to police, the incident happened at 8:28 p.m. on the 3400 block of St. Aubin Street, the same area where the Detroit Edison Public School Academy’s Early College of Excellence is located.

Officials said an altercation ensued inside a building on the block and continued outside. An individual then fired shots that struck the male, whose age has yet to be disclosed, according to police. He was taken to the hospital where he was in stable condition on Saturday.

According to The Detroit News, the altercation was a fight that broke out during Detroit Edison’s boys basketball game against Detroit University Prep.

As of Saturday afternoon, police haven’t shared whether any arrests have been made.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Duluth Police Department at 313-596-5740 or Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-773-2587.

Terrion Arnold ‘maintains complete innocence’ in kidnapping, theft case

Terrion Arnold ‘maintains complete innocence’ in kidnapping, theft case

I represent Mr. Terrion Arnold in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred on February 4, 2026, in Tampa, Florida, which resulted in the arrest of five individuals on serious felony charges.

To be clear, Mr. Arnold had no involvement whatsoever in the activities that led to those arrests. He did not participate in, nor was he present for, any conduct related to the alleged offenses. There is no evidence in police reports, text messages, or witness statements that implicates Mr. Arnold in any way.

In fact, after direct communication with the lead prosecutor, it has been confirmed that no charges have been filed against Mr. Arnold in connection with this matter.

Recent media coverage has referenced an Order issued by Circuit Judge J. Logan Murphy, which improperly suggests Mr. Arnold’s involvement in the incident. That same Order also incorrectly identifies Ms. Devalle as Mr. Arnold’s girlfriend. Both assertions are false, misleading, and entirely unsupported by the record.

Mr. Arnold categorically denies these unfounded claims and maintains his complete innocence. He was not involved in the crimes allegedly committed on February 4, 2026, in Tampa, Florida.

We strongly urge members of the media to refrain from perpetuating inaccurate or speculative narratives. The facts are clear, and they do not support any claim of wrongdoing by Mr. Arnold.
