Stolen car recovered in Taylor after driver left it unlocked and running in Monroe
A car stolen that was stolen Tuesday in Monroe, Michigan, was found later in the day in Taylor. The driver had left her vehicle unlocked, with the keys inside and the engine running, at a drugstore parking lot, according to the report from Monroe Police Department. The theft was reported shortly before 11 a.m. from the Walgreens at North Monroe Street and Stewart Road. When police arrived, the victim said she left her car running with keys inside while she was shopping in the store. But during that time frame, someone stole the car. Monroe police shared a description of the vehicle with area law enforcement agencies, and about 11:30 a.m. Monroe County Central Dispatch received a report that the Flock license plate camera system detected the car as it was northbound. About 1:35 p.m., Taylor Police Department contacted Monroe County Central Dispatch to report their officers had located the stolen vehicle and detained the driver. Monroe Police detectives followed up with that information and continued the investigation. "In light of the recent heatwave, we understand that leaving the air conditioning on in your vehicle is a convenient way to stay cool on hot days. However, leaving your vehicle unattended with the keys inside while it is running increases the risk of theft. This practice is strongly discouraged," Monroe police said in their report. "Not all stolen vehicles are recovered, so please take precautions: always turn off and lock your vehicle when it is unattended." Anyone with information to share on the investigation is asked to contact Cpl. Ryan Parise at 734-243-7500, ext. 7538, or Sgt. Aaron Oetjens at 734-243-7516.

Woman seeks help for grandkids after son killed by NC teen who also shot a cop
A woman is asking for community support for her grandchildren after police say her son was killed by a teenager later suspected of shooting a Monroe officer. 'We are heartbroken to share the devastating news of my son, Alvin James Parson Jr.,' Theresa McNeil wrote on the Go Fund Me she started for her grandchildren, ages 4, 3 and 2. 'Only 23 years old, he was tragically taken from us on Saturday, May 31, due to an act of senseless gun violence in Indian Trail,' McNeil wrote. She described her son as 'a loving father, a cherished friend and a vibrant young man who brought joy to everyone around him.' Police haven't said if they know what prompted the killing. Union County deputies found Parson dead in a home after responding to a 911 call, Sheriff Eddie Cathey said in a May 31 statement. Hours earlier, a teenager was suspected of shooting a Monroe police officer multiple times during a pursuit, officials said. Police killed the armed teenage suspect after 'an extensive manhunt,' according to a police statement. Cathey said the teen may have believed officers were after him in connection with the homicide, but the sheriff said police didn't know about the killing at the time. The officer who was shot was later released from a hospital. McNeil said money raised through her Go Fund Me would help pay for her son's funeral and 'provide ongoing support for Alvin's children, ensuring they have the necessary care and stability as they grow up without their father.' Tina Sykes-Mosley is helping spread the word about the fundraiser. She co-founded the nonprofit MARCUS organization that launched the first homicide victim support group in Union County. 'The funds raised through this campaign will help alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by the family,' Sykes-Mosley said in a statement. Donations also will 'ensure that the needs of these children are met as they navigate this heartbreaking loss,' she said.
