COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, MI : Four of the five people were killed in a fiery crash on Saturday, September 2, 2017
Four of the five people who were killed in a fiery crash early Saturday morning just east of Kalamazoo have been identified.
The driver, 15-year-old Cortavian Murphy — who due to his age did not yet have a driver’s license — and a passenger, Jaquerious Hegler, were identified by Cortavian’s mother.
Late Sunday afternoon, Kalamazoo County Undersheriff Paul Matyas confirmed two other passengers as Deztanee Cobb, 17, and Marshawn Williams, 15. The fifth victim has not yet been identified.
The crash happened around 12:43 a.m. Saturday on E. Main Street, east of Sprinkle Road in Comstock Township.
Kalamazoo Township police say an officer parked on Fenimore Avenue near the E. Main Street intersection watched as a car going an estimated 100 mph passed him heading east on Main Street. The officer turned on his lights and sirens and attempted to catch up to the car, but lost sight of it shortly after.
