Three charged in Detroit riverboat shootings headed to court today

Detroit — A judge is scheduled Friday to decide whether to bind over for trial three people who were allegedly involved in a family dispute aboard a riverboat that ended with six shooting victims.

Latoiya Mitchell-Thomas, 28, her husband, Michael A. Thomas, 32, both of Roseville, and LaDon Richard of Detroit, are charged with various offenses in connection with the Aug. 6 shooting, which occurred when passengers disembarked the Detroit Princess riverboat cruise.

Prosecutors say Mitchell-Thomas and her husband had an argument with a woman while onboard the Hot 107.5 "On Deck Sunday" Moonlight Cruise, which was attended by about 500 people. Thomas allegedly slapped the woman in the face and flung a bottle at her. A fight broke out on the boat, according to prosecutors.
