On September 30, 2024, at approximately 5:00 a.m., Warren Police Officer James Burke, 28, was driving a marked patrol SUV southbound on Schoenherr Road at a high rate of speed. His vehicle collided with a Dodge Durango driven by Cedric Hayden Jr., 34, and his passenger, DeJuan Pettis, 33, who were attempting to turn left onto Prospect Avenue. Both Hayden and Pettis were killed in the crash, while Officer Burke and his partner sustained injuries.
.
Eyewitnesses reported that the police vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed without its emergency lights or sirens activated. One witness described the police SUV as "like a missile" and estimated its speed at over 100 mph. Another neighbor's video captured the high-speed crash, with the witness stating, "If he would’ve seen the lights, he would have never turned in front of the police. So they seem like they was doing at least 80, 90 miles an hour."
.
The Macomb County Sheriff's Office conducted an independent investigation and found that the officers were not engaged in a pursuit at the time of the crash. However, Officer Burke was charged with manslaughter and two misdemeanors. The families of Hayden and Pettis have expressed frustration with the charges, alleging preferential treatment due to Officer Burke's status. A vigil was held in Warren to honor the victims, and a $100 million lawsuit has been filed against the Warren Police Department.
