A Michigan State Police detective sergeant is facing charges that include second-degree murder in connection with the April 17 death of a 25-year-old Kentwood man who was crushed by a police SUV while running from authorities, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office announced this week.
Detective Sgt. Brian Keely, 50, of Grand Rapids is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, following the death of Samuel Sterling, who died after fleeing from troopers. A second degree murder conviction could lead to up to life in prison, the Detroit News reports.
