Detroit Police are searching for the person who killed a woman in front of her children, then left them with her dead body.
It happened on Braille Street on the city’s west side.
A neighbor tells 7 Action News LaDiamond Myers was an attentive mom who always watched her children closely. When the neighbor saw one of the children going down the street alone, she asked the little one where her mom was.
“I told 'em go back in the house and get her mommy. Why was she out by herself? She said my mom is sleeping,” said the neighbor.
That neighbor walked the child back to the house where the family lived around 8:20 Thursday evening. It was an abandoned house they had been squatting in, per neighbors.
When no one answered, she went inside. She found LaDiamond dead, someone had beaten and stabbed her.
Neighbors say she lived in the house with a boyfriend, the father to some of the children. They haven’t seen him. Police are not calling him a suspect at this time.
No one is in custody.
