I guess the farther away one lives from Detroit, the less one cares.
I live far from Hollywood but I'm still interested in their stories. The only difference is, in Detroit they're real.
Here's what happened today on "Days In Detroit"
Today a witness stepped forward stating the he seen Mayor Kilpatrick at the hospital the same time Strawberry, Tamara Green, was there.
For those who don't know, Strawberry, Tamara Green, is an exotic dancer who was performing at the Mayor's mansion during an alleged party.
When Mayor Kilpatrick's wife, Carlita, arrived she was furious and began beating on Strawberry and threw her out. Stawberry was later taken to the hospital were the witness testified he seen the Mayor there at the same time.
Before Tamara Green was able to press charges, she was killed in a drive by shooting. Some believe it may have been a hit.
Stay tuned for the next episode of Days In Detroit
