Family of Slain Michigan Chef Rebuts Livestream Claims as Suspect Held on $2 Million Bond

Prosecutors say additional digital evidence will be presented at the next court hearing.

Overview

  • Mucari Finley, 29, was fatally stabbed in Warren, and Dominick Robinson has been charged with first-degree premeditated murder.
  • Robinson live-streamed for hours during a barricade at the home, producing video that prosecutors highlighted in court.
  • Judge Steven Bieda set bond at $2 million and a not-guilty plea was entered on Robinson’s behalf, with a potential life-without-parole sentence if convicted.
  • Finley’s family says he was “catfished” after connecting online with the suspect and rejects claims that he dealt or used illegal drugs.
  • Police and prosecutors have not confirmed the livestream allegation linking Finley to drugs, and the next court date is Tuesday.
