BY GENA JOHNSON WARREN — Two Pontiac men face charges in the 37th District Court after an alleged race led to a police chase and a crash that killed a mother of two on June 29. Damaree Terry and James Lamar Hudson, Jr., both 26, were arraigned July 3 and July 2, respectively, and charged with second-degree murder in the death of 42-year-old Katrina Michael, of Warren, who was riding in the vehicle Hudson hit while he was allegedly traveling at excessively high speeds in an area with a 40-mph speed limit. Although Terry’s vehicle did not hit the black Jeep Cherokee in which Michael was a passenger, he continued to flee police. At a press conference at the Christopher M. Wouters Police Headquarters on July 2, Warren police officials were joined by Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido and updated the media about the fatal crash they said resulted from drag racing. At that time, only Hudson had been arraigned. According to police, Hudson, Terry and another driver were each driving Dodge Chargers as the three vehicles raced down Eight Mile Road west of Mound Road, headed westbound early on June 29. When the police pursuit began, one of the Chargers reportedly stopped while the vehicles driven by Hudson and Terry fled from police, as seen in a video shown at the press conference. The police pursuit reportedly started around 1:34 a.m. on Eight
