Former President Donald Trump is coming back to Michigan, this time to address the Detroit Economic Club.

Trump is expected to deliver remarks at the Detroit Economic Club at 1 p.m. today from MotorCity Casino Hotel. You can watch the former president’s remarks live here when they begin.

Trump’s visit comes with fewer than four weeks to go until the Nov. 5 election. Both he and Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris have previously traveled to Michigan in recent weeks. Michigan is considered a key state to deciding the outcome of the presidential race this fall.

Opinion polls currently show a thin margin between the candidates, both nationally and in the swing state of Michigan. The RealClearPolling average of recent polls conducted in Michigan shows Trump holding a 0.7 percentage point lead over Harris.

Last week, multiple human bones were again found during construction at Maryland Avenue Montessori School in Milwaukee’s east-side Murray Hill neighborhood.

The grade school stands at what was once the site of the East Side Potter’s Field, a known and recorded uncatalogued burial site, said Wisconsin Historical Society assistant director of strategic communications Colleen Lies. Lies explained that the field was Milwaukee’s first potter’s field ― a cemetery for poor, unclaimed and unknown people ― and was in use through the mid-1800s.

Milwaukee County Historical Society president Ben Barbera said Milwaukee police notified his organization after the remains were found on Oct. 2. Barbera referred the police to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s office. According to a report from the Medical Examiner’s office, an investigator climbed down a ladder into the 3-foot-deep excavation site and observed multiple bones sticking out of the dirt on one of the side walls. More dirt to the sides of the bones was removed; ultimately, a “large amount” of bones were found.

The Wisconsin Historical Society was notified of the burial site disturbance and took possession of the bones from the scene. WHS took on the matter because MCHS does not have any input on human remains, Barbera said, while WHS oversees cemeteries and other burials.

“(We) confirmed that all construction was stopped for further coordination with everyone involved,” Lies said. “UW-Milwaukee Cultural Resource Management has temporary care of the remains and will be completing archaeology and analysis work for the burials uncovered during construction.” Construction has since resumed.

This isn’t the first time human bones were found at the site at 2418 N. Maryland Ave.

Many East Side Potter’s Field remains were uncovered and removed during the initial construction of the Maryland Avenue school in 1887.

According to a 1951 Milwaukee Journal article, the potter’s field was the burial site of many victims of the city’s 1849-1850 cholera epidemic, which was estimated to have killed as many as 700 of the city’s then-20,000 residents. During an excavation for an addition to the school in 1951, cholera epidemic-era bones and bone fragments were found, some buried “haphazardly” just 18 inches below the surface, the Journal reported.

Then, in 2021, OnMilwaukee reported that four bones were discovered during a small excavation to fix some basement seepage at the school.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has secured the certification of Dominic James Burris, 18, to be prosecuted as an adult for his role in the deadly LGBTQ “Nudieland” mass shooting on Aug. 11, 2023 in Minneapolis.

Burris was 17 years old at the time of the shooting, which left one dead and injured six. He faces one count of second-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, and five counts of second-degree assault.

The shooting was motivated by the gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression of the victims, according to police.

“Our office’s decision to seek adult certification in this case reflects our investigation of each individual case to determine the appropriate accountability that best protects community safety,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a statement.

“Prosecution in adult court is necessary given Mr. Burris’ role in this horrific incident, his prior history of violent conduct, and the lack of sufficient resources in the juvenile justice system to appropriately address these concerns.”

On Aug. 11, 2023, Minneapolis police responded to a mass shooting in the backyard of a private residence on the 2200 block of 16th Avenue South.

Police found several people suffering from gunshot wounds and one person who died from his injuries.

The mass shooting occurred as a local band was finishing a concert for a crowd of up to 50 people who identified as an LGBTQ+-friendly community.

The victims included people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, according to investigators.

Witnesses identified the shooters as two males “who were not part of the community,” the criminal complaint states.

The males made derogatory epithets about the sexual orientation of concert attendees, according to witnesses. They left, then came back less than a minute later and began shooting, police said

Officers found at least seven victims who had suffered gunshot wounds, including one who suffered a gunshot wound to his back and died shortly at the scene.

Forensic examiners developed a DNA profile from a cigarette butt at the scene, which matched a known DNA profile of one of the suspects.

Surveillance videos from around the time and location of the shooting, confirmed that two males matching the physical appearance of the suspects walked toward the direction of the party shortly before the shooting took place. A witness later identified the second suspect in the surveillance video.
