Eyewitness accounts and police reports indicate the driver ran a red light, a heartbreaking violation leading to irreversible consequences.
Police confirmed Singleton was exercising his right of way when the tragedy happened. Despite severe injuries, including multiple broken bones and a cracked skull, Singleton clung to life for several days before succumbing on November 8, Fox2 Detroit reports.
This incident has spotlighted the critical policy failures surrounding illegal immigration.
The driver, who reportedly entered the U.S. illegally, was released pending a future hearing, sparking outrage among law-abiding citizens concerned about border control and public safety.
“I had to sit and watch my husband of 53 years die in front of me, and then to know that the person who did this is walking around is very difficult to deal with,” said the pastor’s wife, Teri Singleton.
Pastor Singleton was widely respected for his charitable contributions. He was active in aiding disaster relief and feeding the homeless, leaving an indelible impact on countless lives.

On the personal front, Pastor Singleton was a devoted family man, married for 53 years, and an inspiration to his 15 siblings.

The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office is currently reviewing the case to decide on any charges against the driver.
Meanwhile, the Singleton family seeks financial support for funeral expenses and daily needs via a Go-Fund-Me campaign.
“I will not be angry because this has happened. I refuse to be angry. I will still love like my Dad taught me to,” said Stephen’s daughter Ruth.
