Fox News
Detroit-area Pastor Stephen Singleton died after an illegal immigrant driver from Colombia allegedly struck him with a car on Nov. 3 in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
"This man was not legally in the country and possessed no license," Singleton's family wrote. "[Singleton] was struck so hard that he was thrown on the windshield, breaking it. The car was damaged and had to be towed. He spoke the last words he would ever speak. He asked for my grandmother. Almost all his bones were broken. He had organ and brain damage and required extensive surgeries. The doctor placed him on life support. On November 8, 2024, he was declared brain dead and taken off support." "His real passion was just pure love for his fellow man." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business. Email tips to audrey.conklin@fox.com or on Twitter at @audpants.
