Late in the summer of 2022, 52-year-old Reggie Farmer was found dead from gunshot wounds in an upstairs bedroom of a Harper Woods, Michigan, home on September 2. He was discovered alongside his girlfriend, Khalilah Elam, who was also killed by gunfire.

A suspect barricaded himself in the same residence after the deaths. Police negotiated for several hours before taking 19-year-old Demond Thomas Burgen Jr., identified as Elam’s son, into custody after finding him in the basement. Burgen Jr. was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of felony firearm, and held on $1 million cash bond at the Wayne County Jail. The case narrative does not state a motive.

If anyone knew Reggie, Khalilah, or the household’s circumstances leading up to September 2, please share information that could help clarify what happened.
