WARREN, Mich. (FOX 2) - More than a year after two victims were killed during a robbery in Warren, a suspect has been charged.
Jourdan Armstrong, 36, of Joliet, Ill., is accused of planning and carrying out an armed robbery at a home on Michael Street where marijuana was sold, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office. During this robbery, two men from Newark, Ohio, 24-year-old Trey Bennett and 36-year-old Andrew McHenry, were murdered.
Through their investigation, police identified Armstrong as a suspect. After determining he was the mastermind behind the crime and the person who first pulled a gun during the robbery, charges were issued and he was eventually arrested in Texas. It is unclear who shot the victims.
