Corzilius, of Warren, was accused of slashing Clancy's throat in his Grosse Pointe Farms home during an argument on March 6. Corzilius allegedly demanded money, bound Clancy's hands with duct tape and forced Clancy to point out valuable paintings he could steal. While Corzilius was removing artwork, Clancy escaped the house. Corzilius ran after Clancy and stabbed him in the neck several times.
Authorities say Corzilius worked in Clancy's neighborhood as a handy man.
Clancy was left bleeding on the sidewalk and a passerby called 911. He died on April 27.
