On Night of Optimism, CVS Security Guard Murdered

On a night Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan delivered a hopeful state of the city address, a 24-year-old CVS security guard was murdered while trying to do a good deed.

Jeff Vaughn of WXYZ reports that a woman ran into the CVS store at McNichols and Schaefer on Wednesday night on the city's northwest side to say that she'd just been carjacked.

WXYZ says that the guard went out to confront the carjackers and was shot in the neck. The carjackers then fled. 

Two suspects nabbed in a burgundy Taurus were in custody Wednesday night, The Detroit News reports.
