Second suspect arrested after Detroit firefighter found murdered

The Detroit Police Department has arrested a second suspected wanted in the murder of a Detroit firefighter who was found dead in his own home earlier this week.

Detroit Police tell FOX 2 that another arrest was made Friday in connection with the murder of Jack Wiley II. An 18-year-old man was also arrested on Thursday. 

Wiley was found dead Tuesday inside his home in the 15000 block of Penrod by his sister after he didn't show up for work. He was a second generation firefighter dedicated to serving his city, his father said Wednesday.

"Once you become a Detroit firefighter in this city, you serve everyone in this city and everyone that you serve is a family so we are a city family," he said.

Wiley worked at squad 1 for the DFD and his fellow firefighters were concerned when he didn't show up for work that morning. When they checked his home, his car was gone and they contacted family. His sister went to his home and found him dead inside the house.

Police at the scene say the man's SUV was stolen but was recovered burned up later in the day.
