MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (WXYZ) — A manslaughter trial begins Tuesday for a former Warren police officer accused of killing two people when he crashed his police vehicle into an SUV while responding to a call.
Former Warren Police Officer James Burke was on duty in September 2024 when prosecutors say he was driving more than 115 miles per hour without his lights or sirens on while responding to a be-on-the-lookout call. Burke crashed into a white Dodge Durango at Schoenherr Road near Prospect Avenue, killing Cedric Hayden and Dejuan Pettis.
