Detroit Man Charged With Murder After Fatal Warren Police Chase Crash

Anthony Eugene-Douglas Grier, Jr., a 33-year-old Detroit man, has been charged with second-degree murder and other offenses after a high-speed police chase in Warren, Michigan, that resulted in the death of 71-year-old Wendy Drew. Grier allegedly drove at speeds exceeding 100 mph in a 40 mph zone, disobeyed traffic signals, and drove on sidewalks and the middle turn lane while fleeing police. The chase ended when Grier's vehicle struck two uninvolved cars at the intersection of South Van Dyke Avenue and 9 Mile Road, fatally injuring Drew. He fled the scene on foot but was apprehended and denied bail at arraignment. Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido condemned Grier's actions as showing a total disregard for life and pledged to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. The next court hearing is scheduled for June 5, with a preliminary examination set for June 12.
