An attorney representing the family of murder victim Tamara “Strawberry” Greene (both in the top picture above), says a fellow stripper is “very scared” after testifying how she witnessed Greene dancing at a long-rumored party thrown by former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (pictured with his wife Carlita) at the Manoogian Mansion.
In a 131-page legal brief unsealed Sunday, the Greene family attorney Norman Yatooma says, dancer Tamara Ruffin testified she was not only at the party, but witnessed Carlita Kilpatrick assault Greene after she gave the mayor a lap dance.
Ruffin testified how the former mayor of Detroit (Kwame Kilpatrick’s) private mansion party was laced with marijuana and cocaine along with uniformed DPD officers providing security for the then mayor.
Ruffin also testified that while Green was performing a lap-dance for Kilpatrick, she heard Carlita Kilpatrick say, “What the fuck is going on here?” “Who is this bitch?” “Bitch, get the fuck off my husband.”
Ruffin then observed Carlita Kilpatrick and Greene engaged in a fist fight and said that, Greene appeared to be winning the fight until Carlita Kilaptrick struck Greene in the head with an object described as being “a two by four, could have been a baton, could have been a table leg, but it was big.”
As the fight escalated, Ruffin made a hasty exit from the Manoogian Mansion, running a couple of houses down and hiding behind a car. It was from this location that Ruffin was able to observe the arrival of three Detroit Police cars.
Ruffin is the second self-described eye-witness to come forward in recent months and describe the never-proven party. Various attempts by the media to reach her have been unsuccessful, but Yatooma denies he has put her up in a safe house pending the outcome of the case.
Tamara Greene was murdered a couple of months later after this party in a drive by shooting, as she sat in a parked car with her boyfriend.
Greene’s family alleges Kilpatrick and other city leaders conspired to block an investigation into Greene’s murder and that Ruffin and another witnesses testimony will provide a possible reason for the cover-up.
Kilpatrick resigned as mayor of Detroit in 2008 and is currently serving time in state prison for violating the terms of his probation in another case.
