A Detroit teen was charged Thursday as an adult on five felony charges in connection with a high-speed police pursuit that killed an innocent bystander over the weekend.

Daniel Shane Canales, 16, was arraigned in 41B District Court where Magistrate Ryan Zemke ordered him to be held without bond in the Macomb Juvenile Justice Center.

Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Jeffery Hall said there is an “extremely high” likelihood of the teen being convicted. He said police dashcam video captured much of the chase and crash.

“The entire incident is on camera from start to finish,” Hall said in court.

Canales is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree fleeing from police, driving with a suspended license causing death, third-degree fleeing from police, and driving a stolen vehicle. If convicted on the most serious offense, that being the murder charge, he faces up to life in prison.

Hall said Canales, who has no prior criminal record, demonstrated a lack of regard for law enforcement as he was being pursued by two different police agencies. He also said there seemed to be a “lack of parental authority,” as the youngster was out in the early morning hours with another teen.

John Kennedy, a public defender, asked for Canales to be released pending his next court date with the condition of wearing a GPS tether and to undergo a court-ordered psychological evaluation.

Prosecutors said the decision to try the teen as an adult was made after examining all the available evidence including the severity of the allegations.

In a news release, Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido called the case “deeply troubling.”

“Charging a juvenile as an adult is never routine, but given the severity of this case, it was necessary,” he said. “Accountability matters, regardless of age. Our responsibility is to seek justice, and that means proceeding with the full weight of the law.”

Canales is accused of crashing a stolen car into a vehicle driven by Alex Habib, 28, of Madison Heights, a father of two who was working a second job as a rideshare driver early Saturday.

According to prosecutors, Clinton Township police responded to a call at an apartment complex on July 12. When they arrived, officers saw a vehicle driving slowly through the area with its headlights and taillights turned off.

When officers attempted a traffic stop using lights and sirens, the vehicle fled at a high rate of speed, prosecutors said.

The stolen Hyundai Sonata was later spotted about 2:40 a.m. in Roseville. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Gratiot at Interstate 94, but the teen drove off on to Interstate 696, exiting at Van Dyke Avenue.

That’s where the stolen Hyundai crashed into Habib’s vehicle. Habib sustained severe injuries and died at Henry Ford St. John Macomb Hospital in Warren, according to prosecutors.

Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin said the teen is believed to be part of an organized car theft ring targeting vehicles in Macomb County. Lucido, a former state senator, has called on the Michigan Legislature to pass new laws that would provide stricter penalties for drivers who flee from police.

After the arraignment, the prosecutor said: “While Canales is a minor, the charges allege that his decision to flee from police resulted in the death of an innocent man. There must be consequences.”

A probable cause conference was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Monday, July 28 before district Judge Jacob Femminineo Jr.
