Suspects Face Life Sentences in Michigan Murder

Joshua Zuazo, 39, has been charged with the murder of 72-year-old Hussein Murray in Rochester Hills, Michigan, after allegedly posing as a utility worker to gain access to Murray's home. Zuazo, along with Carlos Jose Hernandez, 37, impersonated DTE workers and claimed to be investigating a gas leak, allowing them to enter the home. Once inside, they restrained Murray's wife and demanded money and valuables before fleeing. Zuazo was arrested in Plymouth Township, Michigan, while Hernandez was captured in Shreveport, Louisiana. Both men face felony murder charges, which could result in life sentences if convicted, as well as charges of unlawful imprisonment. The Oakland County Prosecutor condemned the crime for exploiting the public's trust in essential services.
