Ex-Detroit police officer to be sentenced in May in 2024 fatal motorcycle crash
A former Detroit police officer charged in a fatal motorcycle crash last year will be sentenced in May after pleading guilty in Roseville district court. Corey Siquan Jones pleaded guilty to the charge of moving violation causing death April 16 in 39th District Court in Roseville, according to online court records. His sentencing is set for May 21. Jones' attorney, Vincent Toussaint, had no comment April 24. Jones, then 28, was arraigned in February in the fatal crash in August in Roseville. He pleaded guilty to the original charge, a one-year misdemeanor. Jones, while off-duty, stopped at a red light Aug. 16, then proceeded through it while it was still red, hitting a motorcyclist who was riding lawfully through the green light, according to a prior release from the county prosecutor's office. The crash happened at the I-94 service drive and 12 Mile Road. Evan Newman, 27, of St. Clair Shores, died at the scene, according to the release. A prosecutor's office spokeswoman previously indicated in an email to the Free Press that Jones, of Roseville, was driving a Jeep Cherokee. No drugs or alcohol were involved. She indicated Jones, who was on his way to work, was not hurt. Jones resigned from Detroit police in December, a department spokesman previously indicated in a text message to the Free Press. Prosecutor Peter Lucido indicated in the prior release, in part, that this case "is a reminder of how a simple traffic violation can have devastating consequences. A life was lost, and a family is now left to grieve an unimaginable loss." Contact Christina Hall: chall@ Follow her on X, formerly Twitter: @challreporter. Support local journalism.
