Police said an argument between groom James Shirah and groomsman Terry Lewis Taylor Jr. after the wedding allegedly led Shirah to hit Taylor Jr. with an SUV at high speed.

A bride and groom were arrested in Flint, Michigan, last week after the groom allegedly ran over and killed one of his groomsmen hours after the wedding, according to police.

The City of Flint Police Department responded to the 1400 block of E Hamilton Avenue on Aug. 30 for a report of a "pedestrian injury crash," the department said Wednesday in a Facebook post. 

The victim was identified as 29-year-old Terry Lewis Taylor Jr., who was found with severe injuries and taken to a nearby medical center where he later died.

That groom is definitely testing the "or worse" part of the vows ASAP.

"Until death do us part" .... Yes, but who's death?

Yes, but who's death?

I guess not he is death or she is death!

The police department spelled Collier’s first name as “Savahna,” whereas court records show it as “Savanah.”

Really desperate to pad out a word count there.

I used to live in Flint. This behavior is hardly surprising

Must be something in the water.

This stuff also happens other places, but yes people always think their experience was unique.

Like how every damn town has the same jokes about weather, as if they're unique.

I mean, flint is pretty notorious. This type of behavior is constantly happening. Someone even shot someone for cutting in line at a Jimmy John's. And there are constantly shootouts every week. It's not an exaggeration. It's the reason I moved away, not raising my kids in that shitshow. Bad water, gang activity, unhinged rednecks no thanks

Did anyone else read the headline as the guy went rapidly on foot to where the groomsman was and killed him with his hands?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Is he going to get murder charges or vehicular homicide?
