"This was a gang violence related incident," Michigan State Police said on Twitter on Friday, addressing what it said were "rumors" circulating about the investigation. "This homicide was not random and had nothing to due with music or a performance." While no one is in custody, police said, "There are other people that know the details and we need them to come forward."Police were first alerted to the men's disappearances by Kelly's mother, who reported him missing on January 23, Michael McGinnis, commander of major crimes at the Detroit Police Department, previously said.
As the story of Kelly's disappearance gained media attention, "other family members of the other missings come to realize that that's a friend of their loved ones and they haven't seen them either, so then they both get reported missing," McGinnis said. The bodies were discovered February 2, in the complex police described as "rat infested." Several days later, state police confirmed "this was not a random incident" and said investigators believed they had determined a motive.
