Man, 29, charged with woman's homicide in Shelby Township also accused of trying to move her body
A 29-year-old man has been charged with second-degree homicide and tampering with evidence after a woman was found dead last weekend. The Shelby Township Police Department responded to a residence after a 911 hang-up on Saturday, June 19. There, they found a man who let officers into the apartment. Police say they located the body of 27-year-old Brittany Harris-Beauchamp, of Madison Heights. Investigators say that it appeared that the body had been moved. The man at the apartment, identified in charging documents as Terrance Lamar Bowie II, was taken into custody and was arraigned in court Tuesday. Police believe that this wasn't a random act of violence but, rather, that the victim and Bowie knew each other. "Every human life has intrinsic value, and the taking of a life is among the gravest offenses in our legal system," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said. "We will do everything within our authority to ensure that justice is served." Bail has been set at $2 million. A probable cause conference is set for Tuesday, Aug. 5.

Water main repairs in progress in Madison Heights after multiple breaks on Wednesday
The cause of a series of water main breaks Wednesday in Madison Heights, Michigan, has been confirmed. But repairs are still in progress. City officials gave that report in an update to residents Thursday morning on social media, corroborating what Madison Heights Mayor Roslyn Grafstein said Wednesday. "These breaks were caused by an equipment issue at a GLWA pump station located at Hall Road and Dequindre. The malfunction led to a phenomenon known as a water hammer, which significantly increased pressure in the system, especially along the Dequindre transmission main, where we receive our water supply," Thursday's report said. "To give you an idea of the impact: the water pressure spiked well over 100 PSI, far beyond the typical 60–70 PSI our mains are built to handle." Repairs were taking place Thursday morning at 1255 Jennifer, the city said. After that one is completed, the crews will go to 1604 Elliott and 32500 North Avis. Repairs have been completed at the water main breaks on John R, Dequindre, Stephenson, West Farnum and Lenox. "Residents & business owners affected will be notified door-to-door when water will be turned off," the city said. "If you are experiencing brown/discolored water, Please run the cold water tap until the water runs clear. If the problem persists, please contact DPS at 248-589-2294." CBS News Detroit has reached out to the Great Lakes Water Authority for comment.

Madison Heights residents frustrated after multiple water main breaks
Crews in Madison Heights are continuing to work around the clock to restore water service for residents and businesses impacted by nearly a dozen water main breaks throughout the city on Wednesday. Water main breaks occurred in the areas of: • 25305 John R• 28731 Dequindre• 32295 Stephenson• 29333 Stephenson• 1604 Elliott• 923 West Farnum• 32500 North Avis• 1255 Jenifer• 26630 Lenox "I didn't get any calls or any texts when it's going to be coming back," said Madison Heights resident Ashrafal Zabir. "There's already some frustrations around having to prepare for something like this," added Madison Heights resident Jasper Wurster. "I would not want this to push me over the edge as far as trying to find another location if needed." Madison Heights Mayor Roslyn Grafstein issued the following statement regarding the water main breaks: We were informed of an equipment issue at the North Service Center, GLWA's pump station located at Hall Road and Dequindre. When problems like this occur, they can trigger a sudden spike in water pressure, a phenomenon known as a "water hammer" or, technically, a hydraulic transient. This directly impacts the Dequindre transmission main, which supplies water to Madison Heights. In this instance, our system experienced a sudden surge in water pressure, well over 100 PSI, while our infrastructure is designed to handle normal levels of 60 to 70 PSI. Unfortunately, that kind of pressure is more than our water mains can tolerate, which led to multiple breaks occurring at the same time. Our public works team is working to repair the breaks and prevent future occurrences. The city appreciates everyone's patience as our crews work to restore service. CBS News Detroit has reached out to the Great Lakes Water Authority for comment. In the meantime, Grafstein says crews will continue working around the clock to repair water service, but does not have a timeline of when residents can expect the repairs to be completed.

The city of Madison Heights says a barricaded gunman situation on 13 Mile is over after the suspect surrendered peacefully. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office confirmed SWAT was called to a barricaded gunman in Madison Heights, near 13 Mile and John R. The call came in around 2 p.m. in Madison Heights where a man barricaded himself inside an apartment at Madison Woods West. The sheriff said it was called to the scene about an hour later. At 4 p.m., the city of Madison Heights said the situation was over and had been "resolved peacefully." "The subject is in custody, and the situation has been resolved without injury. The area around 13 Mile and John R is now clear," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said on social media. No other details were released.
