Warren Michigan Home Invasion Suspect Jumped Out of Moving Car to Escape Police After Tying Up Victim
Imagine being in your own apartment, and in seconds you’re tied up, a gun is pressed to your head, and two strangers are calling every shot.
That’s not a movie scene. That’s what happened to a man in Warren, Michigan, on June 10.
What Went Down That Night
Two men forced their way into a Warren apartment and held the victim at gunpoint. They restrained him, then struck him in the head with the handgun. Armed robbery, home invasion, unlawful imprisonment, all in one terrifying encounter.
When Warren police arrived and spotted the suspects fleeing in a black Chevy Malibu, they didn’t back off. Officers chased the car until the passenger jumped out and tried to run. He didn’t get far. The driver tried to bolt too but was taken into custody on the spot.
Who These Men Are
The two suspects are Dwayne Lewis Jr., 29, from Detroit, and Davon Loveings, 35, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Both were arraigned on June 12 and hit with a $1 million bond each. The charge list is long: armed robbery, first-degree home invasion, unlawful imprisonment, firearms possession by a prohibited person, carrying a concealed weapon, and four counts of felony firearm.
Lewis picked up an extra charge for fleeing police.
What makes this case heavier is that both men are habitual offenders. Loveings carries a Third Offense Notice, meaning this isn’t his second brush with felony charges, it’s at least his third.
Lewis has a Second Offense Notice. Under Michigan law, that history doesn’t just follow you into court, it follows you into your sentence.
Cases like this are a reminder of how repeat offenders keep cycling back, and similar patterns showed up in the Cheyenne storage unit burglary ring where prior records played a direct role in how charges stacked up.
According to WWJ Newsradio 950, if either man posts bond, a GPS steel cuff tether is mandatory and there’s a strict no-contact order with the victim. Their next court date is June 25 for a probable cause conference.
Why This Matters
This wasn’t a random unlucky moment. Warren has a real, documented violent crime problem.
According to FBI crime data compiled by NeighborhoodScout, the chance of becoming a victim of violent or property crime in Warren is 1 in 48, and the city’s crime rate is higher than 87% of Michigan cities.
Warren recorded 736 violent crimes in 2024, a rate over 50% above the national average.
That’s not a statistic to scroll past. That’s your neighborhood.

What You Should Take From This
Home invasions like this one, where suspects enter an occupied home with a weapon, are far more dangerous than a typical burglary. The victim was home. That changes everything.
It’s worth remembering that surveillance cameras have become one of the most basic lines of defense, even in cases where the intruder doesn’t expect to be watched, like this California home invasion where a woman broke in, took a shower, and had no idea she was being recorded the entire time.
And when it comes to occupied homes specifically, a firearm in the right hands has made the difference, as the Florida mom who shot an intruder threatening her kids showed in a case that’s hard to forget.
If you live in Warren or any part of Macomb County, now is a real moment to think about what’s protecting your front door. Smart locks, monitored cameras, motion lighting, these aren’t paranoia. They’re practical.

The Bottom Line
Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido put it plainly: everyone deserves to feel safe in their home and community. The court clearly agreed, setting a combined $2 million in bonds between the two men.
This case is still active. The June 25 hearing will give us a clearer picture of where things head next.
