Before the robbery, the two teens McKee and Brady called for an Uber, officials say. Once the Uber arrived, McKee allegedly attacked Perkins with a hammer and stabbed him with a knife. Officials say Brady was also armed and partook in the robbery by stabbing Perkins.
The two teens allegedly stole Perkin s car, took his personal property and then left the scene, officials say. Detroit police were able to track down Perkins stolen car, which led them to find the two teens.
“It is rare that we use the automatic waiver to charge juveniles as adults. But the alleged facts in this case are especially heinous and violent, Worthy said. “The evidence in this case will show that these defendants called an Uber with a plan to rob and carjack the driver, beat and bludgeoned him, and left him in an alley to die.”
