On October 28, 2021, a family member who could not reach Khalileo Anderson went to his apartment on Caniff Street in Hamtramck and found Anderson, 26, and his 25-year-old girlfriend, De’Angelique Thomas, dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Police say the killings likely occurred the previous evening, October 27. Authorities described the incident as a robbery-motivated double homicide; both victims were found inside the apartment after officers were initially dispatched for a reported medical emergency.

Hamtramck police, with local, state, and federal assistance, arrested 24-year-old Rayquan Ralph Young of Inkster on November 9, 2021. Young was charged with two counts of felony murder, two counts of armed robbery, and four counts of felony firearm and was arraigned and remanded to jail. The probable cause conference was set for November 23, 2021, with a preliminary examination scheduled for November 30, 2021. The apartment building where the couple were found has a reported history of problems and this case brought the city’s homicide total for the year to six.

If anyone knew Khalileo Anderson or De’Angelique Thomas, or has information about the robbery or the events at that apartment, please share what is known.
