    Detroit officer sued for shooting unarmed teen at block party, leaving her permanently disabled

    Rain Williams, 19, was shot by a Detroit police officer at a house party on June 1, 2024, while unarmed, resulting in permanent brain injury and limited mobility. The officer fired into a crowd during a 'shots fired' call, striking Williams and another bystander. A lawsuit alleges gross negligence, but the officer returned to full duty in January 2025 after being placed on no-gun status in November 2024. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office declined to charge the officer, citing lawful self-defense.
