The suspect in the stabbing, 47-year-old Madron Aldonihah Austin was arrested on April 4 in Ypsilanti Township at a residence of an acquaintance.
Austin was arraigned on April 5 on the following charges:
- Ct. 1: Assault with intent to murder
- Ct. 2: Assault with intent to murder
- Ct. 3: Assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder
- Ct. 4: Robbery – Armed.
He was given a $500,000 cash/surety bond and is currently being held in the Washtenaw County Jail.
Authorities say a dispute over narcotics and money reportedly played a role in the incident, and at least one of the victims and Austin were known to each other.
The investigation is ongoing and new charges may be brought against Austin, pending the medical examiner’s report.
