Driver charged in fatal bicycle crash at 131 and Pearl in GR

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Wyoming man is charged with a misdemeanor in a crash that killed a bicyclist near downtown Grand Rapids early this year. Steve Dowhan, 53, was hit and killed instantly the evening of January 11, 2025, as he rode his bicycle west on Pearl Street near the Ford Museum. A stagehand for venues in downtown Grand Rapids, Dowhan had just finished a job at DeVos Place. On May 29, Kent County prosecutors charged the driver of the vehicle that struck Dowhan, Kaleb Stressman-Pilot, with moving violation causing death. Police: Bicyclist hit by car, killed in Grand Rapids 'The alcohol was not over the legal limit, it was under it,' said Kent County prosecutor Chris Becker. 'So, we didn't have any drunk driving charges we could file. We didn't have any reckless driving charge we could file…. After we took a look at everything, the moving violation causing death was the only charge we had.' Becker noted fatal accidents usually take a few months to investigate as police await the results of toxicology testing and conduct accident reconstructions to determine charges. According to the probable cause affidavit, Stressman-Pilot had a 'solid green traffic signal.' But an accident reconstructionist said Stressman-Pilot had been speeding when the crash happened, driving 48 to 61 miles per hour in a 30-mph zone. Bicyclist killed in downtown GR was stagehand, driver had prior arrest Officers also determined that Stressman-Pilot should not have been driving that night; he had a restricted license and a conviction for operating while intoxicated from an August 2023 traffic stop. But in the January fatal crash, toxicology results measured Stressman-Pilot's blood alcohol content as .05, under the legal driving limit of .08. Still, the affidavit noted evidence of impairment. 'Officers advised they could smell an odor of intoxicants coming from Stressman-Pilot and displayed (sic) other clues that indicated impairment,' wrote an officer in the court record. 'Stressman-Pilot was eventually arrested for OWI and a chemical blood test was conducted. The results of the chemical blood test show Stressman-Pilot had a BAC of 0.057.' The officer went on to document Stressman-Pilot's comments the night of the crash. 'Officers on scene questioned Stressman-Pilot who advised them he was going 'Wherever I want to go,'' wrote the author of the affidavit. '(Stressman-Pilot) also added that he was headed to the 'strip club.' Officers spoke to the (female) passenger in the vehicle, who stated they were 'cruising downtown' and 'looking for something to do.'' If convicted of the high misdemeanor, Stressman-Pilot could get up to one year in jail and a mandatory one-year license suspension. Steve Dowhan's friends and fellow union members are still trying to determine a permanent location for a ghost bike that was dedicated in his honor. It can't be displayed at the crash site because Grand Rapids does not allow tributes in public rights-of-way. For now, it's in the front window of a Bridge Street building that houses the union to which Dowhan belonged, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 26. The union said it will continue to fight for more parking for downtown workers. 'That's what we're seeking as a way to honor (Steve's) legacy,' said Tom Burke, president of IATSE Local 26. 'That's why Steve was on his bicycle in the middle of winter.' Burke said the lack of affordable parking forces downtown workers to park on the outskirts and ride their bicycles to their jobs. Burke described Dowhan as a lover of music and culture and a stickler for safety on the job. 'He was also quite persnickety,' Burke said with a chuckle, 'and he could be difficult in a debate or an argument. But that was also a strength when it came to demanding safety for workers, which was his thing. If he saw an unsafe situation, he would help us stop the work until we made it safe.'

At-large murder suspect arrested after wild crash in north St. Louis

ST. LOUIS – A Tennessee man wanted for a 2024 murder was arrested over the weekend following a brief police pursuit that culminated in a wild crash. The crash happened Sunday evening in the 4100 block of St. Louis Avenue, located in the Greater Ville neighborhood. According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department's probable cause statement, officers were patrolling the St. Louis Place neighborhood in a marked vehicle when they noticed a black Toyota Camry with heavily tinted windows and no front license plate. The officers attempted to make traffic stop, but the driver conducted a U-turn and sped off. The Camry went west and eventually sped through the intersection at St. Louis Ave. and North Sarah Street before hitting another car, briefly going airborne, and landing on its side between two properties. The driver and a passenger were both taken into custody. Police said officers found a Glock 23 .40 caliber pistol and a Mini Draco 7.62 caliber pistol in the vehicle, as well as suspected narcotics, cash, and a digital scale. The driver, Anthony Tobias-Haywood, 29, had an at-large warrant for his arrest in a 2024 fatal shooting. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.

The victim, Daniel Hughes, was killed in a drive-by shooting while standing on the sidewalk. Hughes was taken in a private vehicle to the hospital, where he later died. He was 27.

He's due in court on June 16 for a detention hearing, followed by a preliminary hearing on July 9. Police and prosecutors said Tobias-Haywood is a convicted felon in Missouri. He was convicted in March 2016 for first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle, unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest, possession of a defaced firearm, second-degree burglary, stealing, and stealing a firearm.

'You missed': New details emerge as teens charged in Burnsville graduation night shooting

'You missed': New details emerge as teens charged in Burnsville graduation night shooting originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Two 18-year-olds from Bloomington and Shakopee are facing drive-by shooting charges in connection to an incident following the Burnsville High School graduation ceremony on Friday, June 6. Abdulahi Jama Ali, of Shakopee, and Abdikani Mukhtar Abdiwahab, of Bloomington, were charged Monday in Dakota County District Court, Ali is charged with two counts of drive-by shooting and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. Abdiwahab is facing two drive-by shooting charges and other counts for aiding an offender. According to the criminal complaint, gunshots rang out west of Burnsville High School around 8:30 p.m., which was approximately 30 minutes after the graduation ceremony concluded. The shots were fired after police on scene had already broken up "several physical altercations" and attempted to disperse two groups who were "flashing gang signs towards each other." Ali and Abdiwahab were arrested after bystanders pointed police in the direction of the black Toyota Camry they were in. Abdiwahab was driving and Ali was in the front passenger seat, according to the complaint. While arresting the duo, officers heard a bystander shout, "Ksoe, you missed. You dumb ass. You missed." The complaint claims that Ali's nickname is "Ksoe." Further investigation revealed, allegedly, that the bystander who mocked "Ksoe" for missing was seen earlier — by witnesses in a vehicle behind the Toyota Camry — approach the Camry and talk with the duo before he "tried to punch the Camry" before the witness "saw the barrel of a gun come out of the front passenger window and open fire." Police found a handgun with an extended magazine under the front passenger seat. They also found one bullet casing on the driver's side floorboard and two more casings on the street by the vehicle. One bullet fragment was found lodged into the headlight of a vehicle parked nearby. Abdiwahab allegedly waived his Miranda rights and claimed he didn't shoot a gun and didn't know anything about a gun being shot. He also said he didn't know how a gun wound up in his car. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension collected DNA samples from the gun, Ali and Abdiwahab for analysis. No one was physically injured in the shooting.
