WARREN, MI : Family of man killed in Warren on Tuesday, 29th October 2024

The city of Warren and two of its police officers are facing another $100 million lawsuit related to the fatal crash last month that killed two men.

Fieger Law filed the lawsuit Tuesday in the Macomb County Circuit Court on behalf of 33-year-old DeJuan Pettis' family. It claims that on Sept. 30, the police officers failed to adhere to traffic laws and were driving over 100 mph when they crashed into a Dodge Durango occupied by Pettis and 34-year-old Cedric Hayden Jr. at the corner of Schoenherr Road and Prospect Avenue.

The lawsuit also claims that the officers did not activate sirens or lights, and failed to brake before colliding with the Durango.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
