DNA
matches
Raymond
Durham
as
suspect
in
murder
of Sgt.

DETROIT
-
DETROIT
(Tell Us
Det) - A
handgun
recovered
from a
shooting
that
left two
Detroit
cops
wounded
Wednesday
night
apparently
has a
"DNA
match"
to the
murder
of a
college
police
sergeant
last
year,
according
to a
report.
The
.38-caliber
revolver
was
retrieved
after
59-year-old
suspect
Raymond
Durham
allegedly
opened
fire on
two
officers
on
Detroit's
west
side
around
8:30
p.m.,
officials
said.
One
officer
was shot
in the
neck and
"the
early
diagnosis
is he's
going to
be OK,"
Craig
said.
The
other
officer
was shot
in the
ankle
and body
armor
stopped
two
bullets
to the
chest,
he said.
Officers
gathered
at the
Detroit
hospital
awaiting
updates
on their
condition.
"Tragedy
has
struck
again in
the city
of
Detroit
regarding
Detroit's
finest,"
Craig
said.
"The
good
news is
that
both are
being
treated."
Detroit
Chief
James
Craig
says DNA
evidence
links
the man
to Sgt.
Collin
Rose,
who was
fatally
shot in
November
while on
patrol
for the
Wayne
State
University
police
department.
Craig
calls it
a "first
step."
He
declined
to
release
any
other
details
Friday.
Prosecutor
Kym
Worthy
has
charged
Raymond
Durham,
(DOB:
04/22/1956)
of
Detroit,
in
connection
with the
shooting
of two
male
Detroit
Police
officers.
On March
15, 2017
at
approximately
8:30
p.m. the
two
police
officers
stopped
their
car and
lead
Durham
to the
front of
the
vehicle.
While he
was
being
detained
Durham
is
alleged
to have
fought
with the
officers
and
pulled a
gun from
his
front
waistband
and
fired at
the
officers
causing
them to
return
fire.
One
officer
who is a
20 year
veteran
of the
Detroit
Police
Department
suffered
multiple
gunshot
wounds.
The
other
officer,
a 4 year
member
of the
police
department
sustained
a
gunshot
wound to
his leg.
Both
officers
were
taken to
a local
hospital
where
they are
being
treated.
Durham
was
charged
with two
counts
of
Assault
with
Intent
to
Murder,
two
counts
of
Resisting
and
Obstructing
the
Police
Causing
Serious
Impairment,
one
count of
Felon in
Possession
of a
Firearm
and five
counts
of
Felony
Firearm.
Durham
was
arraigned
in the
hospital
today by
36
District
Court
Magistrate
Laura
Echartea.
He has a
probable
cause
conference
of March
24, 2017
and a
preliminary
examination
of March
30,
2017. He
will
remain
in
police
custody
in the
hospital
and upon
release
he will
be
immediately
remanded
to jail.
WCPO
does not
have a
release
date for
the
defendant.
Prosecutor
Worthy
said,”
We are
able to
charge
this
case
today
because
of the
round
the
clock
collaboration
with the
Detroit
Police
Department,
the
Michigan
State
Police,
and many
others
who
worked
tirelessly
on this
case.
Any time
a police
officer
is
injured
is a
stark
reminder
of how
much law
enforcement
puts on
the line
every
minute
of every
day."
Meanwhile,
two
Detroit
officers
shot
Wednesday
night
are
recovering
from
their
injuries.
The
injuries
are not
life-threatening,
although
one
officer
was shot
in the
neck.
