Abduction attempt in Troy
The woman said she was attacked at 9:10 p.m. Friday (July) 7 in the parking lot of the Target at Coolidge Highway in Troy.
The woman claims Hall came up behind her, forced her door open, punched her in the face, and then showed her a gun.
She yelled and said a fellow shopper in the parking lot helped scare him off.
Detroit murder
Hall has also been named a person of interest in a murder that happened just after midnight Tuesday morning in the 300 block of West McNichols Road in Detroit.
Assistant Detroit police Chief David LeValley said someone met up with a woman at the scene. There was an altercation between the two, and the woman was killed. A knife might have been involved, according to authorities.
LeValley said the woman was about 30 years old. Her body was left behind a building.
When detectives received a call about the body, they investigated and found video that showed Hall at the scene, they said.
“Based on the clothing description, everything matching exactly, we believe it to be the same individual,” LeValley said.
