Oshtemo Man Charged in Girlfriend’s Killing After Admission and Held Without Bond

Investigators point to evidence contradicting his initial report of a third‑party attack.

Overview

  • Jayvon Cortez Bulock, 27, was arraigned Oct. 7 on open murder and felony firearm charges in the death of Naomi Nakken.
  • A judge denied bond, and a probable cause conference is scheduled for Oct. 16 in Kalamazoo County.
  • Court documents say Bulock first called 911 claiming another man assaulted him and killed Nakken, a story detectives later disputed.
  • Investigators cite doorbell footage showing no visitor, blood spatter inconsistent with his account, a door bolted from the outside, and a .45 revolver recovered at the scene.
  • Detectives report Bulock later admitted an argument turned physical and that he shot Nakken, with witness statements describing pleas for help and sounds of violence before gunfire.
