Detroit police seek ‘serial murderer’ in deaths of 3 women
DETROIT (AP) — Police in Detroit say the killings of three women since March could be the work of a “serial murderer and rapist.”
Chief James Craig says the homicides appear to be connected. He spoke to reporters after a body was discovered in a vacant house Wednesday, more than two months after the first victim was found.
Two of the three women were in their early 50s. One died of blunt force trauma, while the cause of the other deaths remains under investigation.
Craig says detectives believe the women worked in the sex trade. The chief says he’s not trying to “create an alarm across the city.” But he’s making a public appeal for more information, especially from people who accept money for sex and go into vacant buildings.

Eastpointe agrees to settle black voting rights case
EASTPOINTE, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit city council has approved a settlement in a federal lawsuit over the rights of black voters in which voters now will rank candidates on the ballot in order of their preference.
The city of Eastpointe says its City Council unanimously approved a consent decree Tuesday evening in which it will become the first Michigan city to implement so-called “ranked choice” voting with a goal on implementing it with this November’s city election. It says the mayor will continue to be elected citywide, rather than by ranked choice.
The U.S. Justice Department sued Eastpointe in 2017 , saying it should elect council members by district rather than citywide. Blacks made up 30 percent of the population in the last census but only one council member is black.
