Guest Held in Fatal Royal Oak Stabbing of 83-Year-Old Set for Court Appearance

No charges or motive have been announced during prosecutor review.

Overview

  • Police say they were called around 9:30 p.m. Oct. 24 to the 4300 block of Sheridan Drive after reports of a man calling for help.
  • Officers found a 35-year-old woman with blood on her hands who ran briefly before being detained after a short foot chase.
  • An 83-year-old man was discovered unresponsive in the basement with multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • Authorities describe the woman as a guest and family acquaintance, and they say the victim was related to the homeowner but did not live at the house.
  • The suspect remains in custody at the Royal Oak Police Department, a court appearance is expected Tuesday, and police are examining whether drugs played a role as the victim’s family identified him as David Graham Ong in an obituary.
