Nicholas Lee-Nathan, 29, faces two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of drunken driving causing death and two counts of reckless driving causing death in connection with a crash that killed 51-year-old Dawad Helton and 43-year-old Erica Smith early Sunday morning.
Prosecutors say Lee-Nathan drove from a downtown bar to the intersection of W. McNichols Road and Ardmore Street in northwest Detroit — roughly a dozen miles — where the crash occurred around 2 a.m. Sunday. Investigators say he was traveling 73 miles per hour, more than twice the speed limit, when he struck Helton and Smith as they crossed the street.
