Warren teen, 17, faces several adult charges over Eastpointe shooting
Joshua Dismuke, 17, of Warren, was arraigned as an adult Thursday at 38th District Court in Eastpointe, the Macomb County Prosecutor's office said.
"While the defendant is a juvenile, the charges, particularly assault with intent to murder, are extremely serious, and the decision to charge him as an adult reflects the gravity of the offense," said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido in a statement.
The shooting happened at a home on Kelly Road where a group of individuals had gathered to make a music video, the prosecutor's report said. Eastpointe Police Department, which led the response, worked with the St. Clair Shores K-9 Unit, St. Clair Shores Drone Unit, Roseville Police Department and Michigan State Police to locate three individuals who were seen running away from that location.
Dismuke is charged with assault with intent to murder, felony firearm, discharging a firearm in or at a building, tampering with evidence, carrying a concealed weapon, lying to a police officer, possession of a firearm by a minor, assaulting or resisting a police officer, and larceny of a firearm.
Bond was set at $1 million. Dismuke will continue to be detained at the Juvenile Justice Center in Mt. Clemens. If he can post bond, the conditions of release include a GPS tether.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for Aug. 12 in the 38th District Court.

Elizabeth Holmes spotted at Texas prison where Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was spotted jogging at the same minimum-security Texas prison that is now housing Ghislaine Maxwell after a recent transfer. Holmes, 41, is serving an 11-year sentence for knowingly misleading investors at Theranos, the blood-testing company she founded in 2003. The company ceased operations in 2018. She was sentenced in 2022 after she was convicted on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Holmes was pictured on Saturday jogging in a gray shirt and shorts, as well as compression gloves and a hat in the rec yard at Federal Prison Camp Bryan. The prison in Bryan, Texas, is the same facility where 63-year-old Maxwell, the convicted associate of deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, is now being held after she was transferred on Friday from Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee in Florida. It remains unclear why she was moved, but Maxwell and her lawyer met twice with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche before the transfer took place. Maxwell's attorney has been publicly seeking a pardon or sentence commutation from President Donald Trump. The president said he has not received such a request, but has not ruled out the possibility of a pardon or commutation. Maxwell has also offered to testify to a congressional committee about Epstein in exchange for immunity. Maxwell, who is eligible for release in 2037, was found guilty in 2021 on sex trafficking charges in connection with helping Epstein abuse underage girls.

Hundreds mourn Atlanta father of 20 killed outside Greyhound station
The Brief Hundreds of people showed up on Saturday to mourn the loss of D'Anthony Reaves, who was shot to death outside the Greyhound bus station on Forsyth Street on July 19. Saturday's service was filled with music—something fitting for Reaves, whose brother described him as a "dancing machine." Reaves' brother, Deoinetea Hightower, said the family plans to start a foundation in Reaves' name to help ensure all of his children are cared for—and to help fathers get off the streets and turn their lives around. ATLANTA - Hundreds of people showed up Saturday to mourn the loss of a man who had 12 biological children and eight stepchildren. What we know D'Anthony Reaves, who family members previously told FOX 5 claimed all 20 children as his own, was shot to death outside the Greyhound bus station on Forsyth Street on July 19. The line to get into the service at North Avenue Missionary Baptist Church stretched out the doors and into the parking lot, as mourners came to honor the late father. Ten of Reaves' children were able to attend the service. His family said the turnout showed just how loved and well-known their father and brother were in communities across Atlanta. "Seeing everybody come out as one big community was really nice, and we really appreciate all the extra support because we're gonna need it," said Sha'Miracle Brown, one of Reaves' daughters. Saturday's service was filled with music—something fitting for Reaves, whose brother described him as a "dancing machine." "I think dancing and singing was his safe space," said D'Ana Reaves, another one of Reaves' daughters. "Oh and his laugh, he would just go on and on." "My dad was like a crazy dancer, but I will always remember the music standpoint. Because some of us make music, all of us are musically inclined, some of us play instruments. So my dad passed that musical gene down to all of us," said Brown. "He loved his kids. You could ask anyone, any single person, and they would say we were his pride and joy. I don't think there's a room we could walk into that he did not mention us or our accomplishments or our accolades." What's next Reaves' brother, Deoinetea Hightower, said the family plans to start a foundation in Reaves' name to help ensure all of his children are cared for—and to help fathers get off the streets and turn their lives around. "We're fixing to open up the D'Anthony Reaves foundation so we'll be able to serve his kids so they'll be taken care of," Hightower said. "We got the Power for the Fathers represented for him as well, where we help the fathers get off the street and get their lives back together." The family also wants to see change at the State Capitol. "Greyhound? I'm working on trying to get them to stop their policy of letting guns be carried across state lines…and we want Governor Kemp to come on with the gun law, close it back. We don't need our young brothers with guns," Hightower said. The Source Information in this article came from FOX 5 crews attending the service, as well as past reporting by FOX 5's Eric Mock.
