Illegal immigrant accused of killing distinguished pastor after daily morning run takes tragic turn –The driver had a foreign driver’s license, which is a valid form of ID in Michigan | 25 Nov 2024 | A distinguished Detroit-area pastor has died after an illegal immigrant from Colombia allegedly struck him with a car while he was out for a run on the morning of Nov. 3. Pastor Stephen Singleton’s family said on a GoFundMe page for the 72-year-old pastor that he was “out on his usual daily run,” wearing a reflective vest when he crossed the street on a crosswalk and “was hit by a man who ran through a red light.” “This man was not legally in the country and possessed no license,” Singleton’s family wrote. “[Singleton] was struck so hard that he was thrown on the windshield, breaking it. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 3 confirmed in a press release that a 28-year-old Colombian national driving a 2013 Ford Focus allegedly hit the man while the victim was crossing Rochester Road in Rochester Hills, a suburb of Detroit.
