600 pound statue of a local Tuskegee Airmen stolen from a Detroit park

A statue honoring a World War II veteran was stolen from a Detroit park in the cover of darkness this week. The statue was just erected in June at Rouge Park, honoring the life of Lt. Col. Alexander Jefferson. Jefferson was a Tuskegee Airmen pilot, World War II POW and — later in life — a Detroit Public Schools teacher.
