Victims ID'd from deadly fire at Fall River assisted living facility

Authorities identified some of the residents of a Fall River assisted living facility who died due to a large fire on Sunday night. The residents were: Rui Albernaz, 64 Ronald Codega, 61 Margaret Duddy, 69 Robert King, 78 Kim Mackin, 71 Richard Rochon, 78 Eleanor Willett, 86 A 70-year-old female and a 77-year-old male will be identified after the next of kin are notified, according to the Bristol District Attorney's Office. The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation by state and local authorities. The cause does not appear to be suspicious at this time, the office said. 'My heart goes out to all of the victims, their families and all of those impacted by this terrible tragedy. I would like to commend the first responders for their efforts in bringing many of the residents to safety while being confronted with very difficult circumstances,' District Attorney Tom Quinn said in a statement. A fire broke out at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Gabriel House Assisted Living Residence, which drew nearly 50 firefighters to the scene and left a vulnerable population calling for help from their windows. The Gabriel House opened in 1999 and has a total of 100 units, according to a state website. Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon described rescue efforts as 'super labor-intensive and man-power intensive' due to the mobility issues for many of the residents. The first firefighters at the scene saw flames coming out of the front doors and multiple residents were hanging out of the window, screaming for help, Bacon said.

Community mourns Michigan father of two killed in crash following Roseville police chase

A man is dead after a car crash on Saturday following a police chase in Roseville, Michigan. "It just hit me like a ton of bricks, man. Took the breath out of me," said Tom Brady, owner of Jim Brady's Royal Oak. Grappling over his employee's death, Brady says Alex Habib, a server at his restaurant, was the epitome of a well-rounded guy. "When he was in the building, everybody was just a little bit happier, everyone was a little bit more at ease," Brady said. Habib is described as compassionate, funny, and devoted to anything he puts his mind to. "If I ever had a daughter, Alex would be who I would hope my daughter would be able to meet and marry because you Google family man, great husband, great father, it's got his picture," said Brady. The husband and father of two was tragically killed when a chase that started in Roseville and ended in Warren near the area of 11 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue, according to police. According to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office, the suspect was identified as a 16-year-old from Detroit. It will be determined whether the teen will be tried as an adult. "Alex is out working Uber as another side job to earn more money for his family. Just nonstop, this guy's commitment to his wife and kids, and wrong place, wrong time, got t-boned and I think he died instantly," Brady said. Brady says Habib's family learned police were chasing a suspect in a stolen car. "Those are so dangerous, and I think that for the theft of a car, I personally feel that should never be allowed to happen again. I think that it should be against the law," said Brady. "We lost a really, really good guy. The world got a little less funny, got a little less caring…when we lost Alex," Brady said. There has been a huge outpouring of support for Habib's family online if the community wants to get involved. CBS News Detroit reached out to Roseville police multiple times for comment on this crash and is waiting for a response. Macomb County Pete Lucido issued a statement on Monday, saying, "This was a completely preventable tragedy. An innocent person is dead because someone allegedly chose to flee from law enforcement, endangering everyone around them. Our thoughts are with the victim's family, and we remain committed to seeking justice." Lucido says he wants lawmakers to propose bills that address drivers who flee from police. "This dangerous trend puts lives at risk and undermines the rule of law. By working together across party lines, we can ensure law enforcement has the tools they need to protect our roads and our communities," Lucido said. "Every time a driver chooses to flee, they put lives at risk. We need statutory enhancement of consequences including mandatory prison time. The people of the state of Michigan deserve to be protected." The 16-year-old's next court hearing is July 18.
