Melvindale Officer Homicide Investigation Update:

The Second District Special Investigation Section (SIS) is continuing its investigation into the murder of Officer Mohamed Said. The suspect has been interviewed, processed and is currently lodged at the Detroit Detention Center.

Once the additional investigation is completed, the investigators report will be submitted to the Wayne County Prosecutor for their review. No arraignment date has been set.

A member of the community did come forward and provide information to SIS that led to the suspects location and arrest by the MSP Fugitive team and Emergency Support Team.

Their information will be reviewed by the offering parties for the awarding of the $37,500.00 tip. This will be our final update prior to arraignment.

We continue to pray for Officer Said’s family, the Melvindale Police Department and the community of Melvindale.
