Yesterday, attorneys Ven Johnson and Ben Crump stood alongside Ven Johnson Law client Rain Williams and her parents to call for accountability following the Detroit police shooting that left Rain with catastrophic injuries.
Rain was just 19 years old when she attended a Detroit party with friends. She left fighting for her life after a police officer stumbled and fired multiple rounds into a crowded backyard, striking her as an innocent bystander.
After a grueling rehabilitation, Rain continues to live with debilitating injuries while her family searches for the answers they say should have come from day one.

The Intercept reports on the Jenuwine family's wrongful death lawsuit against Washtenaw County, represented by Flood Law.
John Jenuwine was shot and killed by Washtenaw County sheriff's deputies in January after they pursued the wrong vehicle. Deputies fired 27 shots after intentionally causing Jenuwine's van to flip and catch fire. None of them called for emergency services while he died inside.
"That's something you're trained not to do," said Todd Flood, addressing the department's use of intentional collisions as deadly force.
The family's suit alleges wrongful death, constitutional rights violations and gross negligence, and argues the county failed to train and hold its officers accountable. ... See MoreSee Less

On January 6, Navy veteran John Andrew Jenuwine was shot and killed by Washtenaw County Sheriff's deputies. He was unarmed and did not match the description of the individual deputies were looking for. Twenty-seven rounds were fired into his van.

“This officially ends any appellate avenues that they have. They’ve gone as high as they can go. Now we go back to the district court in Grand Rapids, and really, the next step from our perspective is trial.”
A major qualified immunity case tied to the 2020 George Floyd protests in Grand Rapids is now headed back toward trial after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear former GRPD officer Phillip Reinink’s appeal.
The lawsuit stems from a May 30, 2020 incident in which Reinink fired a Spede-Heat tear gas canister at Sean Hart during the protests, injuring him. Ven Johnson Law attorneys Ven Johnson and Chris Desmond, who represent Hart in the excessive force lawsuit, spoke with 13 On Your Side following the decision and discussed next steps in the case. ...
