A single evening in Harper Woods, Michigan, ended in multiple deaths on July 10, 2022, at a home on Kenosha Street. Police responding to a call for help encountered a man barricaded inside the residence and engaged in a seven-hour standoff before entering. Officers found 70-year-old Robert Bray Jr. and 22-year-old Zlayiah Frazier dead of blunt force trauma. Robert’s wife, Flossie Bray, suffered stab wounds during the incident and died days later.

The person barricaded in the house was identified as 23-year-old Jonathan Welch, described in reports as Robert’s stepson. During the incident Welch is reported to have dropped a one-year-old child from a window to safety and set the house on fire. Two days before the killings Welch had been released on bond on unrelated alleged torture and sexual assault charges involving Zlayiah Frazier.

If anyone knew Robert, Flossie, Zlayiah, or have information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
