PROSECUTOR CHARGES IN BEATING AND CARJACKING OF 91 YEAR OLD MAN
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy charged Deonte Edward Bradley, 22 of Detroit in connection with the violent assault and carjacking of 91 year old Detroit resident Leonard Sims that occurred at 8:35 p.m. on May 4, 2007 in the parking lot of the Stop and Go Liquor Store located at 3206 W. McNichols.
Mr. Sims parked his 2005 Chevy Malibu in the parking lot of the store. Mr. Bradley asked Mr. Sims for a light for his cigarette and allegedly punched Mr. Sims multiple times in the face and neck. Mr. Bradley forced the keys from Mr. Sims hand and then hit Mr. Sims in the face and used the car door to knock Mr. Sims down on the ground. Mr. Bradley drove away in the vehicle. Mr. Sims was assisted by citizens at the scene who called police.
After an investigation by Detroit Police Department and the Violent Crimes Task Force Mr. Bradley was arrested on May 10, 2007.
He has been charged with Carjacking, which carries a penalty of up to life in prison; and, Assault With Intent to do Great Bodily Harm, which carries a maximum penalty of ten years in prison.
“Is there really any reason to beat a 91 year old just to take his car?” said Prosecutor Worthy. “Carjacking is bad enough but there was absolutely no reason for him to brutalize one of our senior citizens to accomplish his criminal goal.”
The arraignment will take place today at 5:00 p.m. in the 36th District located at 421 Madison Avenue in the City of Detroit.
Hmm ..more black on elderly white violence...wonder how the news media would report this the other way around?
Good bye, Deontae, and good riddance.
I'm sure there will be a press conference where his momma will say he's a good boy.
The victim is black.
I don't wonder at all.
Just hang poor little Edward.
His last.
Mr. Sims, the victim in this story.
And how he was good to his children.
And each of their mothers.
Hopefully one of those federal "pound me in the @ss" prisons.
...Chuck Norris.
Time to put cop decoys out on the street as elderly people and take care of business when mugged. It seems PD’s are overly concerned about prostitute stings.
Builds a great case for an “eye for an eye” doesn’t it!
There, fixed it for you.
See posts 5, 9 and 16.
Interesting name.
Detroit; Deonte; Downtown.
