DETROIT FREE-PRESS 
Four people are being held without bond today after they were arraigned in the robbery and murder of a Brighton podiatrist who collapsed and died after stumbling into a Michigan Avenue restaurant covered with cut wounds. Darrell Harris, 24; Teanna Keens, 32; Stephanie Cross, 19, and Kamico Jackson, 24 are being held in the Wayne County Jail on one count each of open murder and armed robbery after arraignment today in 36th District Court. If convicted, they face the possibility of life in prison, Detroit police said. Dr. Gary Ceresnie, 54, who retired from practice last year, died Aug. 9 in the neighborhood east of the Lonyo Street exit of I-94 on the city’s southwest side. Ceresnie picked up Keens and Cross on Michigan in a known area of prostitution and drove with them in his car to a house on St. John Street, where it appears the women set him up, Detroit Police 2nd Deputy Chief John Roach said. Once inside, Harris and Jackson severely beat and robbed Ceresnie of money, Roach said. He said the foursome then fled and Ceresnie made his way to the restaurant, where he died a short time later. Ceresnie’s car was outside the house when police arrived. "We believe that the women took Mr. Ceresnie back to the home on St. John for the purpose of beating and robbing him," Police Chief Warren Evans said in a news release. "While their intent may not have been for Mr. Ceresnie to die, that was the result. Our investigators did an excellent job identifying and apprehending these four suspects."
