Two charged in slaying of off-duty Detroit police officer
DETROIT (AP) - Two Detroit men were charged yesterday in the
fatal shooting of an off-duty police officer during a carjacking
attempt.
A week after the shooting, 55-year-old Brion McConnell and
24-year-old Jason Treadwell were both charged with first-degree
murder and felony murder.
Charles Phipps the Third was killed April 28th, just 24 hours
after his wife gave birth to their son.
Services for the nine-year veteran were held on Thursday.
Phipps was slain during a two-hour crime spree in which
McConnell and Treadwell allegedly carjacked and robbed four other
victims on Detroit's west side.
The suspects have also been charged various robbery counts.
First-degree murder carries a mandatory life prison term without
parole.
