Homicide suspected in death of Dearborn man

Police say they found a 45-year-old Dearborn man dead inside his home Sunday night from an apparent homicide.

Dearborn Police investigators discovered Hassan Jaber in a house in the 6200 block of Williamson Street at 8 p.m. Sunday, according to Dearborn Police Lt. Doug Topolski.

"The neighbor hadn't heard from this guy for several days, and they found him in the house," Topolski said today.

Investigators were not saying whether the man was shot or assaulted, only that they believe a homicide occurred. Topolski said investigators were holding back on the release of information because a suspect is not yet in custody.

The Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office is expected to perform an autopsy today.

Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad is asking the public to come forward with tips in the case.

"The Dearborn Police will leave no stone unturned in this matter, and I'm requesting anyone with any information in this incident to please contact the Dearborn Police Department," he said in a release issued today.

Anyone with information can call the department's tip line at 313-943-3012 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAKUP.

HUNTING THE ZODIAC - Documentary

huntingthezodiac.com | "Hunting The Zodiac" is a 63-minute documentary about the vast subculture of amateur detectives who are obsessed with solving the Zodiac Killer case from the late 1960s. Shot in 2001-02, the film chronicles a turning point in the hunt for the psychopath who killed at least 5 people in the San Francisco Bay Area and mailed more than a dozen bizarre letters and coded messages to local newspapers. HTZ includes extensive interviews with the last two San Francisco homicide detectives to be assigned to the case, and it features more than 8 minutes of rare archival news footage from the earliest days of the Zodiac investigation. But the film's main focus is on a new breed of Zodiac investigator -- retirees, nurses, librarians, massage therapists, bakers, factory managers, pilots, interior decorators. Amateur detectives from around the world are dedicating vast amounts of their time and money to hunt a serial killer who, so far, has kept his promise to never be caught. For professional detectives, hunting the Zodiac is barely a part-time job. But for the amateurs, it's a full-time obsession. Learn more at http

Charges dismissed in grisly Ypsilanti Township triple homicide

Image
For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...

Flint's battlefield: A three-year murder map

Image
FLINT, MI -- There have been 189 murders in the city since 2010. Below is a map of the locations of each murder in the last three years, as well as the names of the slain on Flint's battlefield. The spike in murders occurred almost immediately after large-scale layoffs in March of 2010. By year's end the city had set a record with 66 murders, breaking the previous mark of 61 set in 1986. Killing continued in 2011 with 57 murders. A look at the map shows the majority of the murders took place on the north and east sides, historically the most economically depressed areas of the city. Just 25 murders in the last three years occurred south of Court Street. The map is color-coded by year. Green markers denote 2012 murders while red markers are from 2011 and blue from 2010. 2012 No. 1: Jan. 11: Kevin Berger, 55, died Jan. 11 after a Jan. 10 double shooting at his home on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard around 10:15 pm. Darius McGee, 25, was also critically shot. He survi...

Manslaughter charges dropped against Keys man accused of letting girl drive drunk before she crashed and died

Image
A manslaughter charge against a Marathon man accused of helping cause the death of a teenager by letting her drive drunk has been dropped due to what prosecutors say is lack of evidence. Michael Mearns, 26, the son of former Marathon Mayor Randy Mearns and grandson of former Marathon Councilwoman Margie Mearns, had been charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence following a Feb. 25, 2011, crash in which 17-year-old Amber Kogelis of Lower Matecumbe Key died. "You have to prove he knew she was drinking," State Attorney Catherine Vogel said Wednesday. "It's clear we do not have evidence of the impairment." That's even though an autopsy revealed Kogelis had a blood alcohol content of .125. In Florida, .08 is considered legally drunk. "It didn't rise to the level beyond a reasonable doubt," said Assistant State Attorney Paunece Ramage. "She wasn't stumbling, she wasn't holding herself up" in a video prosecutors re...
