Overview
- A district judge bound Afeni Badu Muhammad over to Macomb County Circuit Court after six witnesses testified and surveillance and body camera videos were played.
- Prosecutors say Muhammad returned to the 9 Mile Road restaurant wearing a mask and stabbed manager Jennifer Harris multiple times before a drive-thru customer fired a shot and detained her.
- Muhammad faces first-degree premeditated murder and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, and she is charged as a habitual offender tied to a 2022 unlawful wounding conviction.
- She remains held on a $25 million bond, and a Forensic Center report found her competent to stand trial.
- During a recess, one of Harris’ daughters was arrested after attempting to bring a knife into the courthouse, leading to limits on family attendance and restrictions on media coverage.
