Detroit police, firefighters, and Michigan conservation officers rushed to the beach on Belle Isle on Wednesday, June 10, around 7:45 p.m., where bystanders watched helplessly as multiple boats appeared to have capsized after heavy rains swept across the island.

A representative for the Detroit Police Department said the department responded to four sailboats that capsized in the Detroit River, recovering nine people from the water. “At this time, we believe weather was the contributing factor to these boats capsizing. We are grateful for the quick actions of our officers in being able to rescue and save the nine individuals recovered,” read a statement provided by the department. Emergency workers stood onshore until around 8:45 p.m, awaiting an opportunity to help, while what appeared to be emergency boats cruised past each overturned vessel.

‘Diarra From Detroit’ sets date for second season on Paramount+

Diarra is coming back to Detroit.

“Diarra From Detroit” will return for its second season on July 29 on Paramount+, the streaming network announced Wednesday.

The eight-episode season will debut with two episodes and will follow with new episodes every Wednesday through Sept. 9.

Diarra Kilpatrick, half-sister of former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, is the creator, writer, executive producer, and star of the series, which follows her adventures as Detroit detective Diarra Brickland.

From the official show description:

“Season two finds Diarra Brickland trying — unsuccessfully — to have a hot girl summer without getting wrapped up in yet another deeply unserious and extremely dangerous Detroit mystery. This time around, what starts as a seemingly harmless furniture recovery mission quickly spirals into a triple homicide investigation, a citywide treasure hunt and another trip deep into Detroit’s criminal underbelly. As Diarra attempts to sort out her messy relationship status, she instead finds herself going undercover with a secret society, starring in a Tubi movie, chasing urban legends, dodging gang warfare, and uncovering secrets buried beneath the city itself. Because of course she does.”

Alongside returning stars Kilpatrick, DomiNque Perry, Bryan Terrell Clark, Jon Chaffin, Shannon Wallace, Phylicia Rashad and Harry Lennix, the new season will feature guest stars Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Morris Chestnut, Glynn Turman, Bokeem Woodbine, Amber Riley, Lil Rel Howery, Skilla Baby, Icewear Vezzo, Chris “CP” Powell and more.

The show originally debuted on BET+ in March 2024. The show was filmed in New Jersey, which stood in for the Motor City.

At the time, Kilpatrick told The Detroit News she was inspired by the detective shows she watched growing up with her grandmother.

“I watched ‘Perry Mason’ and ‘Columbo’ with my granny, and I think that structure is in my bones,” she said. “Even though they’re White shows, because of my grandmother’s commentary on them, she made them Black shows.”

She said the show follows in the lineage of those shows she grew up loving.

“I have nostalgia for these highly entertaining procedural shows,” she said. “This one is edgier, it’s sexier, it’s raunchier — it’s definitely an adult show — but I want people to talk to their friends at brunch or call their friends and say, ‘I think she should go back with the husband!’ I love when people get involved in storytelling that way, and if I can reveal the humanity of Detroiters in the process? I feel like I’ve won.”

“Diarra From Detroit’s” first season is currently available to stream on Paramount+.
