This is "Demarlo McCray was arrested for attempted murder after shooting at a car full of people, including 2 young children, at a park said. On the afternoon of May 22, a woman, her boyfriend & her 7-year-old & 3-year-old children were leaving Tokyo Grill on N Sherwood Forest Boulevard when they encountered Demarlo McCray and another woman. An argument then took place before the group of 4 drove away towards the nearby Tams BREC Park on Tams Drive. The group parked once they arrived at the park, at which time they saw 22-year-old McCray & the woman he was with drive up as well. According to an arrest warrant, McCray got out of his car & shot at the car five or six times, with 3 of the bullets striking the car. In self-defense, the woman shot twice at McCray's car. Witnesses later corroborated this story, adding that after the shooting, McCray shouted "go, go," before getting into the car's driver's seat and driving away.

McCray was arrested Friday 6-6-2026 on 4 counts of attempted first-degree murder, as well as one count each of illegal use of a weapon and aggravated criminal damage to property."

"The suit claims the map packs large numbers of black voters into majority-black council districts, allowing white members of the council to hold the majority and have an additional majority-white council district. But according to court documents, the case was closed, pending the Supreme Court's decision in versus Callais, which WBRZ Political Analyst James Hartman says he feels was a smart move. "Well, the judge was very wise to stop the proceedings while the Callais was winding its way through the Supreme Court, but the judge is equally wise in bringing it back to life, so there could be some resolution to this," Hartman said. Both parties were instructed by the judge to provide paperwork detailing the impacts of Callias on this specific case.

In documents filed by the attorney on behalf of the Metro Council members, they allege intentional discrimination and claim they have facts. It goes on to say the Metro Council's white majority overrode their own demographers' recommendation, & instead counted the black citizens, which they claim the Supreme Court says is not appropriate. "The Supreme Court didn't strike down Voting Rights Act. It didn't claim the whole law is unconstitutional, and they said that race can be a factor in drawing districts, but not the factor. The plaintiffs have a good argument that it was the dominant factor in this decision-making, with obvious results." claimed Supreme Court held up section two of the Voting Rights Act, which "Imposes liability only when the circumstances give rise to a strong inference that intentional discrimination occurred." "We need to stop looking at race as even a primary or major factor in redistricting, and look at other factors that are easily available, such as median income, crime rate, education levels, that sort of thing," Hartman said. We reached out to attorneys for both parties involved in the case, but they declined to comment."
