The Most Wanted task force got started after a Sterling Heights police officer was murdered in a parking lot. To find the killer, the local police department knew they couldn't do it alone and enlisted the help of the U.S Marshals, who had far more jurisdiction.
Throughout the day, you'll hear from victims whose lives were changed forever. In 2018, Latisha Battle says her ex-boyfriend, Deron Davis, snuck into her bedroom in the middle of the night and tried to kill her while she was asleep in bed.
Davis was captured in Kansas after U.S. Marshals received a viewer tip.
"I'm strong again, that I can walk down the street knowing ain't nobody gonna touch me or harm me," Battle told Action News.
You'll also hear from local officials discussing the community impact and even revisit our quickest captures.
Stay with 7 Action News all day Thursday to celebrate Detroit's Most Wanted 100th Capture.
