ELLEVILLE
Woman charged in shooting death
A 43-year-old Van Buren
Township
resident
was
arraigned on second-degreemur-
der and felony firearm charges
Monday in 34thDistrict Court.
Judge Tina Brooks Green
ordered Diane Letice Orr held
without bond and scheduled a
preliminary court hearing for
her on the charges for Sept. 17
before 34th District Judge Brian
Oakley.
The charges stemmed froman
incident which occurred at about
10 a.m. Sept. 5 at the Green
Meadows Apartments. Van
Buren Township police officers
and Huron Valley Ambulance
were dispatched to the 11500
block of Meadows Court after
reports of a domestic dispute that
involved shots being fired,
according to police reports.
When officers arrived at the
scene they found 23-year-old
Renard Lumpika suffering from
an apparent gunshot wound. Van
Buren Township personnel and
Huron Valley Ambulance para-
medics performed advanced life
saving procedures but were
unable to revive the victim who
was pronounced dead at the
scene.
Officers secured the scene
and also located two people of
interest who were seated in a
vehicle in the immediate area of
the apartment, according to
police reports.
The Wayne County Medical
Examiner's office took posses-
sion of the deceased and is
scheduled to conduct an autopsy
to determine the exact cause and
manner of his death, according to
police reports.
The Van Buren Township
Police Department initiated pre-
liminary investigative actions to
secure possible witnesses as well
as preserve and secure physical
evidence. During the course of
the investigation, Van Buren
Township officers arrested Orr
and transported her to the police
department where she was
processed and lodged pending
the presentation of a warrant
request to the Wayne County
Prosecutor.
Anyone with questions or con-
cerns about the incident is asked
to contact Lt. Kenneth Floro at
the Van Buren Township
Department of Public Safety
(734) 699-8915.

including chlorine, cyclohexane, methyl
ethyl ketone, butadiene, crude oil and
potentially radioactive waste to the Van
Buren site.
Last May, after upgrades and scheduled
repairs to railroad crossings in Plymouth
appeared stalled, The Eagle contacted CSX
Railroad officials about the delay and
inquired about hazardous shipments. Some
local residents had expressed concern
regarding the conditions of the rails
throughout the area following the train
accident in Lynchburg, VA when crude oil
tanker cars derailed, forcing the evacuation
of a large part of the downtown area along
the James River, a short distance from
office buildings andhomes.
CSX would not reveal the number of
railroad tanker cars carrying hazardous or
flammable materials throughout the local
area but contend that such information
would be available to public safety officials,
should they request it. Carla Groleau, CSX
communications director, would only say
“CSX supports the safe transportation and
handling of materials with infrastructure
maintenance and improvements, technolo-
gy and training.”
CSX, according to the Federal Railway
Administration, had more than 200 derail-
ments and accidents in 2012.
Northville Township Fire Chief Rich
Marinucci, who heads up the Western
Wayne County FireDepartment Mutual Aid
Association (WWFDMAA) Haz-Mat Team
says they are constantly training and
preparing for potential emergencies
including those involving the railroads.
Marinucci who describes his team as “out-
standing” said, “While it is not possible to
predict every emergency scenario, the
team is very good at what they do, one of
the top teams anywhere, certainly in the
State ofMichigan.”
The head of theNational Transportation
Safety Board recently said the nation's rail-
roads could pose a catastrophic threat to
the U.S. population, speaking after a CSX
train in Indianapolis carrying a half-a-mil-
lion-pound container designed to haul
spent nuclear waste crashed into a truck
loadedwithpineapple.
During a meeting last week, Van Buren
Township residents questioned the wisdom
of allowing the dumping of radioactive
waste at the Wayne Disposal site, in such
close proximity to the Huron River water-
shed. Van Buren Township Supervisor
Linda Combs said in an earlier interview
that she was confident in the safety proce-
dures at the dumping site.
“I amabsolutely confident that they (EQ)
are not doing anything to endanger the pub-
lic,” she said prior to themeeting last week.
She said the radiation levels are nearly
undetectable and do not affect dump site
employees.
Officials from Environmental Quality,
the owners of the Wayne Disposal site,
announced Aug. 25 that they would volun-
tarily suspend receipt of the radioactive
waste scheduled to be shipped from
Pennsylvania until a panel named by Gov.
Rick Snyder could investigate the situation.
There has been no timeframe announced
for any such probe and no public
announcement of any appointments to the
panel at press time.
“Wayne Disposal has worked coopera-
tively with theMDEQ and the local commu-
nity for many years and will continue to
support a strong working relationship with
them based on sound science and trans-
parency,” said Simon Bell, executive vice
president of operations for EQ in a pre-
pared release.
