Novi detectives are interviewing people who knew a young man found dead along Grand River Sunday morning, reports Kim Russell. They are looking into whether he attended a rave put on at the Suburban Collection Showcase in Novi that sent numerous ravers to area hospitals.
Thousands of people danced while getting sprayed with paint during the event. The Life in Color “World’s Largest Paint Party” ended at 2 a.m.
“They kicked everybody out in the cold,” said Cassidy Manetta, who went to the party.
“It just got out of hand,” said Joseph Johnson, owner of Gatsby’s, a restaurant just down the road from the concert.
He says soon crowds of people came to his business as he was trying to close. Some were dressed in shorts and tanks. They were looking for shelter from the freezing rain. They were covered in paint, and found that taxis and hotel shuttles they relied on were not interested in giving them a ride.
