# Detroit This Week: Police Shooting Controversy, Weekend Heat Wave, and Community Celebrations

## Episode Description

In this powerful episode, we examine the developing story of Rakim Wright's death following a police chase from Warren into Detroit's east side, where community witnesses contradict official accounts about whether Wright was armed. We explore the questions of police jurisdiction, accountability, and the impact on Detroit neighborhoods.

Despite tragedy, we highlight community resilience through local heroes like Sheila Wright, whose neighborhood organizing continues even in mourning. Our weather update warns of returning heat with temperatures climbing to 90° by weekend, plus potential thunderstorms that might affect your plans.

Don't miss our coverage of upcoming events bringing Detroiters together - from PJ Morton's concert at the Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre to the inaugural Chinatown Block Party celebrating Asian American heritage, and the vibrant African World Festival later this month.

Join host Morgan Riley for this essential Detroit update that connects current events, community voices, and practical information for navigating the week ahead in the Motor City.
