A Detroit teenager charged in connection with a shooting involving a 14-year-old boy was back in court on Monday for a preliminary exam.

Ramon Smith, 17, is charged with assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm, felonious assault, carrying a concealed weapon, and three counts of felony firearm.

Smith, who will be tried as an adult, is accused of shooting 14-year-old Tabaun Clark in the chest during a teen takeover in Detroit on May 17 near Farmer Street.

On Monday, Clark testified in court.

“How many shots did you hear?” an attorney asked Clark.

“Two before I felt something,” Clark said. 

“Where did you feel something?”

“In my chest.”

Officials allege Smith got into a fight with a group, took out a gun and fired multiple shots, striking Clark, who was in the crowd, before running off.

“Were you bleeding?” an attorney asked Clark. 

“Yes,” Clark replied. 

“Did you realize you had been shot?”

“Yes,” Clark said. 

“What was going through your mind at that point?” the attorney asked. 

“Try to keep breathin(g),” said Clark.

Detective Serena DeJonge with the Detroit Police Department also took the stand, reading written responses from the defendant once in custody, who describes what he says played out the night of the shooting.

According to DeJonge, the defendant said “a gun fell, so I grabbed it and put it in my book bag.” After the fight, DeJonge said the defendant claimed that as he was walking away, the group followed him. DeJonge said the defendant reported seeing “one of them reaching,” and he pulled his gun out of his bag and fired shots at the group.

Evidence revealed in court alleges the defendant fired six shots instead of three.

Judge Patricia Jefferson said there’s enough probable cause to go to trial. The case is now bound over to Wayne County Circuit Court.

Smith is due back in court on June 15. He remains at the juvenile detention facility.

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Police Department says it will do monthly reviews of call data to identify nuisance properties.

It follows efforts by a local group that says thousands of properties should have been cited under the city’s nuisance ordinance.

Chronic nuisance property ordinance

What we know:

The ordinance was created in 2001 to address nuisance properties in the city, and the impact they can have on quality of life.

But in recent years, the ordinance has been used less and less.

It was one of the issues before the steering and rules committee on Monday, June 8, after a push by local group Common Ground.

It was already working on crunching the numbers when federal prosecutors charged one of the largest landlords on the city’s south side, and others, with allegedly running a drug trafficking enterprise through rental properties.

Ultimately, Common Ground says thousands of properties across the city should have been declared a nuisance, but weren’t.

A nuisance premises can be cited if it reaches certain thresholds of calls for service within a period of time and the calls are substantiated.

And if the problem isn’t addressed, it could result in fines.

On Monday, Milwaukee police said it’s a process that takes time, but says it’s changing its procedures and reviewing calls for service each month.

What they’re saying:

“We’re also doing a deeper dive into that data analysis, requiring all of our district captains to address any, to review those properties and if they choose not to ‘nuisance’ the property that is eligible to be ‘nuisanced,’ why not,” said Milwaukee Police Department Chief of Staff Heather Hough.

It’s important to note that Milwaukee alders urged the importance of residents calling police about nuisance properties, so there is a record to look back on for if or when a property falls under that nuisance ordinance.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A Minneapolis woman who was paralyzed weeks before her wedding is rebuilding her life after receiving a second heart transplant.

Tannhauser later received a successful heart transplant April 3, according to People.

It was her second heart transplant.

Tannhauser’s heart problems began when she was a child. According to a profile by Abbott, she was diagnosed with an irregular heart rhythm at age 8 and underwent more than 10 surgeries over the next five years.

She received her first heart transplant on Sept. 7, 2011, when she was 17, Abbott said.

After that transplant, Tannhauser earned a biomedical engineering degree and went on to work with Abbott’s vascular team as a field clinical specialist, helping with cardiovascular clinical trials, according to the company.

Now, the fundraiser is helping Tannhauser and Pfaff pay for medical bills, rehabilitation, accessible housing, and transportation.
