Edward McLendon, 72, was found fatally shot and stabbed inside his Robson Street home in Detroit on the morning of November 18, 2021. Police discovered he had sustained a gunshot wound to the head and multiple stab wounds to his chest and stomach.

Investigators identified the in-home caregiver, 30-year-old Nassim Moustapha Messelmani of Westland, as a suspect. Authorities allege Messelmani stabbed McLendon multiple times and then shot him with a shotgun before fleeing. Messelmani surrendered later that day and was charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm; he was arraigned November 21, 2021, and remanded to jail. A probable cause conference was set for December 1, 2021, and a preliminary exam for December 8, 2021. Prosecutors did not immediately disclose a motive.

Did anyone who knew Mr. McLendon or his caregiver notice anything unusual in the days before November 18?
