Two Charged in Murder of Detroit Man

Two men posing as DTE Energy utility workers murdered 72-year-old Hussein Murray and bound his wife with duct tape in their Rochester Hills home. The suspects, identified as Carlos Jose Hernandez, 37, and another unidentified individual, gained entry under false pretenses, claiming to investigate a gas leak. After initially being denied access, they returned the next morning, where Hernandez killed Murray and assaulted his wife, who later managed to call 911. Both suspects were arrested shortly after the incident, with Hernandez apprehended in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the second suspect in Plymouth Township, Michigan. This brutal attack has raised concerns about home security in upscale suburbs, prompting residents to adopt stricter measures to verify the identities of service personnel. Authorities are pursuing charges, including felony murder and unlawful imprisonment, against Hernandez, who is expected to be extradited to Michigan.
