Last week, a Livonia officer assigned to the afternoon shift was being proactive and looking for suspicious activity. While in a parking lot of a local hotel, he observed a parked, occupied vehicle. The officer decided to make sure that there were no problems between the male and female occupants. The female quickly exited the passenger side of the vehicle. The officer exited his police car and approached the vehicle. The male driver seemed nervous. Within a short time, the driver put the car in gear and sped away, leaving the female and officer in the parking lot.

A short distance away, Livonia officers recovered a sawed off, semi-automatic rifle.

The next day, an off duty Livonia officer saw a news report of a subject wanted for murder in Milwaukee and who is a suspect in the disappearance of a 2 year old child. The off duty officer noticed that the suspect from Milwaukee matched the description of the individual that fled from the hotel parking lot.

Working with Milwaukee authorities, we have learned that the suspect left Livonia and drove back to Milwaukee where he was eventually apprehended by Milwaukee PD. While being interviewed by Milwaukee detectives, the suspect confirmed the interaction with the Livonia Officer. He indicated that the semi-auto rifle, which is the murder weapon, was along his leg as he sat in his car. He saw the Livonia officer and was going to shoot and kill him. The suspect had nothing to lose. He had already shot and killed one person. Shot and critically wounded another, and tragically, we now know that the missing two year old was also killed, dying of blunt force head trauma.

At the time of the encounter, our officer was unaware of any of the Milwaukee events. This incident is one demonstration of how our officers never know who/what they may encounter. A simple traffic stop, or in this case an inquiry into suspicious behavior, our officers are always in a reactionary mode. We are very fortunate that this encounter turned out as it did. Our sympathies to the families that suffered the loss in Milwaukee. Please keep our officers in your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate your support. Chief Caid

Officers are so under appreciated. Their lives are on the line every day they put on that uniform. Nice to hear this incident turned out the way it did, good work! By the way, my son is an officer with this department and so very proud of him.

People just don't realize what our Police Force deals with on a daily basis. I absolutely love our LPD. The few times I've needed to call, they were right there., And not just one either, they show up with a whole backup and it makes me feel very safe and fortunate to be a Livonia resident. Thank you LPD for all you do!!

LPD is the best of the best!! Love my boys/girls in Blue!!!💙👮🏻‍♀️👮🏻‍♂️💙

An angel was watching over the police officer. Glad he is ok. So sorry to hear of the Milwaukee tragedy and the sweet 2-year old😥

Here is a great example off why our Livonia Police Officers should make more money per hour, also include the Fire Department. They put their lives on the line everyday for our city and don't make as much as a factory worker. Stay safe out there.

LPD is a fantastic police department, I'm greatful to have been one of its members

Blue lives matter. As a proud ex member of the Livonia PD, thank God another LPD officer was not harmed.

No such thing as a "routine stop" Be Safe, as there is evil out amongst us! Thank you LPD!!!!!

Thank you for your service to our communities!!! Thank goodness the Livonia police officer didn't get killed and the suspect is behind bars in Milwaukee and not going to kill or harm anyone else!! Praying for the poor family that lost 2 of their loved ones!!!

Thank God this officer is ok...it could have turned out to be another tragedy THANK you to our police force who put their lives at risk every single day...be safe and God Bless.

The LPD are what make Livonia fantastic. When I was deciding where to buy a house, police response was very important to me. I know I'm safe in Livonia, and that matters to me. I like to boast that no one gets away with a crime in Livonia, and that's a reflection on the chief and the command staff, who are excellent. I'm proud of our police and very glad that our officer is safe!

Livonia PD impresses me...grateful the Officer is still with us...

Thank you to all in blue. You put it ALL on the line for me every single day.

That Explains the Surveillance at 96 & Inkster. Great Job Livonia PD.

I am so grateful that the Livonia Police Officer wasn’t harmed! He surely was using skill and intuition when he decided to check that car out. And I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of those that died at the hands of that madman.

❤️ Livonia’s Finest - our police, fire and ems workers. You guys rock😊

Thoughts and prayers go out to the families that lost loved ones due to this violent criminal. So glad our Livonia officer not only handled the situation as the professional all of our LPD Officers are, but that this LPD Officer wasn't harmed in the incident. Kudos LPD.

Do our fine LPD officers have the latest body armor ?

Great job Livonia PD! Stay safe!

I am so glad there was a guardian angel for that police officer that day 💙 May God bless and keep all of our police officers especially Livonia police officers safe from all harm! I 💙 Livonia!

I appreciate all the work LPD does and all the other police departments. It’s a tough job, and Livonia has the best.

Nice job Livonia Police Dept. You may have saved that womans life. May the 2 year old and her mom RIP.

Great work Livonia PD, and thank you for your brave service! Happy to hear he was apprehended before he caused any more harm.

thank you livonia pd for your service, so glad your ok. Thank you for Keeping a look out - this criminal is now off of the streets. This story is so tragic :(

We pray every day for the safety of all public safety folks - especially our own in Livonia - we are so lucky to have such a dedicated team - thoughts and prayers to those in Milwaukee whose lives were impacted by this monster

Bet they didn't steal any belts...

Not sure if that's a boy or girl in the middle but it sure looks like he or she is doing his or her best to hold up homeboy's britches for him, since he looks like he can't afford a belt. Thugs these days be trippin

Is that Macauley Culkin on the left ?

The old classic - Let me just stretch it out and act normal ..

did you arrest the procam owners? with their prices they are crooks too...

Why would you rob a camera store? They have cameras everywhere!

LPD will find them, they always do.

These guys only go by their street names of zits, yoga pants and five-head.

Ah, the felony stretch!

Left to right- Justin Bieber, Lenny Kravitz, and Lamont Sanford

What is happening to livonia. Loved that city but sure has changed.

You are dumb to steal but to steal from a camera shop you are a special kind of dumb

I hope that some body recognizes these people and turns them in!

Jeff Harter stay alert

Nice cameras most of these security cameras are so grainy you can’t see much detail. Theses are really clear. Won’t take long to get them.

Facial recognition against drivers license pictures maybe?

Just chillin while stealing 😡

They will do something equally stupid again and get caught

Plymouth road is getting worse every day

How did the guys run with their pants at their knees? Don't wear em like that in prison unless you wanna attract the wrong kind of attention!

That is sad. they are young

Wtf is the guy in the middle doing?

Livonia Police have arrested Porsha Tyler age 34 of Harper Woods on multiple misdemeanor charges stemming from an incident that occurred on January 27, 2019 at Burger King located at 34835 Plymouth Road.

An employee informed police Tyler; entered the Burger King demanding a refund for a burger she had bought the night before. Tyler was upset that the burger was not served minus tomato as she had ordered. Tyler was offered a complimentary replacement meal in lieu of a refund. Tyler was then captured on security video creating a disturbance. The video showed Tyler launching a cookie display at the employee which struck her in the arm. The cookie display fell to the floor and shattered. The employee was not injured during the assault. Tyler then threw food at the employee and tossed a wet floor sign at the counter before leaving.

I hope the daily lunch in jail is tomato sandwich with tomato soup 👍😊

Hats off to LPD my daughter is the GM at this BK and they stayed on top of this case !! It’s ridiculous how this lady acted as if she’s never made a mistake!! They gladly gave her free breakfast that morning and apologized and really this is how you act ? Where did it get her ? Lots of fines and a mug shot SMH ! I’m so happy Livonia does not tolerate this in their city 👍🏻

I think we've all wanted to do this at one point, but then the adult in us kicks in and we pick the tomato off and eat our food.

I'd be in jail for life if I reacted this way every time my fast food order wasn't right.

I have never seen anything like this in my life! Don’t act like this in Livonia, glad they got her!

She couldn’t get over the counter! 😂😂

They should make her go back and work there for a month for free!

Unacceptable. What a thug! God bless the boys and girls in blue!

Because of a tomato? Did she not know you lift the bun and take it off?! One thing to mention it while there another to come back the next day. 🤪

How shocking that someone could get so upset over a tomato slice on a hamburger. Disturbing.

It is just food. All upset because of a tomato..Really people..

Please tell me you’ve never wanted to reach over the counter at those dumbasses! Nothing like ordering a cheeseburger and they forget the burger! Enough is enough! 😏

I hate when I fail to climb on the counter. 😂😂😂

Tell that child it's time to grow up and learn some manners. What do I do with stuff I dont like in my food? Remove it 😑😑 LPD 🙌🙌

Jail over a 🍅 Hope it’s worth it 😂

Tough girl looks like a cry baby in the mug shot. Say cheese 😊

How dare she treat people in this way. Who the heck does she think she is apart from some little girl pooping and stamping in it coz something didn't go quite right. I sure hope the Judge gives her some time in a cell!!!

Livonia Police department, good job. I'm glad you caught her.

Thank you Livonia police

Great job LPD!!!🚔🚔🚔👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👮‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Unbelievable how people act these days...🙁

Keep these pos haters outta here 😤✌

She was a grown woman 😞so sad glad she’s caught

I’m not saying I condone her actions, but if you’ve ever been to this Burger King you’d understand her frustration. Worse service I’ve ever experienced in my life.

🙌🏻🙏🏻as always....thank you and stay safe!!!

Entertainment for the night!
