A man who killed a Detroit police officer and another man over four days has been sentenced to 46-60 years in prison. Thirty-two-year-old JuJuan Parks pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder in connection with the unrelated 2019 deaths of Officer Rasheen McClain and Nathaniel Loyd. He was sentenced Wednesday. Charges in connection with the death of a second man were dismissed under a plea agreement. Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Matthew Penney read a letter written by McClain’s widow, Heidi McClain, who said Parks had given her a “lifetime sentence of pain and grief.” Parks’ attorney said he believes his client is “extremely remorseful” for his actions.

Frisco awarded college scholarships to 12 high school seniors this week and will once again be hanging custom banners on lamp posts along Main Street to honor each of the town’s 25 high school graduates this year.
Scholarship winners which must be graduating seniors who live in Frisco or nearby neighborhoods and must plan to attend a higher-education institution were selected by a two-person committee of Frisco Town Council members based on academic achievement, need and evidence of good citizenship, according to a release from the town.
Council member Dan Fallon lauded the scholarship winners’ academic prowess, athletic achievements and community engagement, and he said the group served as a reminder that the future of the community is in “very good hands and minds.”
