WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
Matthews had worked for WWJ for nearly seven years. He previously worked for the Liggett group of stations in Port Huron.

What a horrific, gruesome situation.
THANK GOD the suspect was apprehended.
The suspect deserves the tiniest, most vile prison cell imaginable. My heart aches for the wife and children.

It sounds like they knew the suspect and he was welcome there.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 7:49 pmWhat a horrific, gruesome situation.

I heard the news on my way home tonight. Jackie Paige made an announcement of sorts. She seemed choked up. Sounded like he was a really good guy.

It sucks when a veteran radio or TV talent passes. It sucks doubly when they're lost in such a senseless, tragic way.
Praying for healing and comfort for his family and friends and for the recovery of the injured victims - and of the perpetrator too, because I too want him to rot in prison for the rest of his life.

That's horrible. The suspect deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life. R.I.P. Jim.
Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
I swear either the local media or the Chesterfield police initially lied about this case, stating the killer was White, when it turns out he was black. It wasn't an accident.

Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
Might not be a lie per se; might be sloppiness (incompetence) by whomever relayed the info to the media.
Click the link below for a good look at the scum bag perpetrator.
People like him are why capital punishment should be legal for extreme cases. This piece of shit actually tried to bash a 10 year old's brains in until dead. The sheer thought causes me anguish.

Does the perp have a criminal history?

Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
I'm pretty sure the chief of police (blond hair)announced a couple of days ago that the perpetrator was found in the basemen, and he said he was White.
Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
Yep, check YouTube. It's a wxyz report under title, update of Chesterfield murder, chief Bassett says the suspect is a white male. Could that be a slip of tongue. They had just arrested him, or were they trying to calm fears?

The Daily Mail seems to have a lot more information...
Unlike the sorry excuses that pass for "media" around here.

Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
Very informative article.
I'd love to know why a man previously convicted of assault with intent to murder and previously arrested multiple times for kidnapping was out on the streets as a free man.
We need to start seeing the names of inept judges or parole board members who make these terrible decisions.

Re: WWJ overnight anchor Jim Matthews killed
Agreed, but if I explain who I believe is responsible, this discussion will turn political, and it won't be about Jim Matthews anymore. I guess we didn't learn anything from Michael Dukakis. On Mitch Albom this afternoon, Ken Brown was asking the same question...why was this guy out on the streets??? I am sure the boilerplate answer is probably "COVID" like it is for everything else. Jim's girlfriend isn't only "being held for observation" but is also on suicide watch, if what the Daily Mail says is true. That's brings up even more questions.
