“I don’t have a lot, but I do a lot with the little that I have,” said Donna Badon.
Donna, a Detroit mother of three and a grandmother of three, said that, on Christmas Eve, her kids wanted a home-cooked meal.
She said that she was on the way to get groceries for one, and her 15-year-old son, Kendon Badon, was pulling in their trash bins when someone ran in their front door and locked the door behind them.
Kendon heard something inside the house and tried to open the front door but said someone inside was keeping it closed.
“I was very scared. I didn’t know what to do,” said Kendon.
He said that he FaceTimed his mom and went to the side of the house. They both saw when, after a few minutes, the suspect ran out their back door.
Donna described what she said the suspect looked like; “He was a Black male, brown complexion, he had dreadlocks, like shoulder length. I would say he looked in his 20s.”
Once back home, Donna said that she called Detroit Police and was talking to them on her front porch when she noticed a silver HHR parked down the street.
