Armani Kelly was a 27-year-old aspiring rapper from Oscoda, Michigan, known on stage as Marley Whoop. His family says he was attending Alpena Community College, had a job and a fiancée, and was trying to rebuild his life after previous incarceration. Kelly traveled to Detroit on January 21, 2023, to perform at Lounge 31 with friends Dante Wicker and Montoya Givens; the show was canceled and all three men vanished afterward.

Kelly’s mother reported him missing on January 23 and tracked his vehicle to Warren; Warren police recovered the car. After nearly two weeks, police found the three men’s frozen bodies concealed under debris in the basement of an abandoned apartment building in Highland Park on February 2, 2023. The Wayne County Medical Examiner determined all three died of multiple gunshot wounds. Michigan State Police said the killings were believed to be gang-related and not linked to the music lounge. Several individuals were questioned and a 15-year-old was arrested on a vehicle-possession charge, but no one had been charged in the homicides as of the last update provided.

Did anyone in the Detroit, Warren, or Highland Park area see Kelly, Wicker, or Givens after January 21, 2023?
