Man Charged In Random Downtown Detroit Fatal Stabbing: Prosecutor (patch.com) — A Detroit woman was fatally stabbed while on break from her downtown Chipotle job, and a 42-year-old Detroit man has been charged with first-degree premeditated murder. Prosecutors say the attack on Woodward Avenue near E. Congress appeared random, and police used surveillance footage to quickly arrest the suspect nearby. Family members have launched a fundraiser to cover funeral costs and support the victim's teenage daughter.
   

2. This MI City Outspends The Nation On Fast Food: Report (patch.com) — Detroit residents now spend a higher share of their income on fast food than people in any other major U.S. city, according to a new WalletHub report. With Detroit's median household income the lowest among large cities, even average $24 meals for burgers, chicken sandwiches, and pizza take a big bite out of budgets. The study highlights how rising fast food prices hit Detroiters especially hard.

4. City of Detroit sees drop in gun violence due to ShotStoppers program, study shows (cbsnews.com) — Detroit's ShotStoppers community violence program is being credited with sharply reducing shootings and homicides in several high-risk neighborhoods, according to a new University of Michigan study. Funded with city dollars and federal rescue funds, six local groups work in designated intervention zones, where declines in gun violence have outpaced the rest of Detroit, suggesting this approach is reshaping safety on city streets.
