Justin Heath
Pastor Heath was preaching a church revival service titled “I cant wait to get to heaven” Pastor Heath touched lives and prayed and gave prophecies to people at the church service.
After the church revival, Pastor Heath was nice enough to drive the church van for people that could not afford a car. While the pastor was driving the Ford Transit T-350 church van, Officer King is accused of running a red light and smashing into the church van killing Pastor Heath.
8 church members were in the van and suffered injuries. The church van was knocked upside down.
Officer King was charged with death by vehicle. It does not appear that the officer was arrested, rather cited with a ticket. Pastor Heath is an ex Wayne County sheriff’s deputy.
