LANSING, Mich. — The suspect in a double homicide that happened last week, was in court on Friday for an arraignment.
The arraignment wasn't for the murders but for three other counts.
The man, whose identity has not been confirmed by police, was arraigned in Eaton County on three counts: Assault, Domestic Violence, and Cruelty to Animals.
He is scheduled to have an arraignment on Tuesday in Ingham County for the murders.
Friday morning, he killed two women, both of whom were former acquaintances of his, police say.
The Ingham County Sheriff’s Office has identified the Delhi TWP victim as 26-year-old Kaylee Ann Brock from Holt, MI.
Meridian Police have identified the Meridian TWP victim as 32-year-old Julie Ann Mooney of Williamston, MI.
The suspect, who lives in Delta Township but is from Chicago, Illinois, went to the home of a third person around 2:40 a.m. and banged on her door, asking to be let in.
The woman did not let him in.
This was at the 5300 block of Mall Drive West.
She contacted the police and told them that she had received text messages from the suspect that said “he loved her so he spared her, and she would know what that meant soon.” The suspect also texted he “had been ridding the demons of some dear friends of his.”
In about an hour, the police located the suspect's vehicle on I-69 near Otto Road and made a traffic stop.
He was arrested on some outstanding warrants.
When police located the 26-year-old man, police say that he showed them his phone with pictures of two women that were deceased.
The Sheriff's Office and Meridian TWP Police announce the suspect's arraignment will be held Tuesday, May 14th at 3 p.m. at the 55th District Court in Mason, MI.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking that anyone with information contact them at 517-676-8257 or Meridian TWP Police at 517-853-4800.
