Michigan State Police today released a composite sketch of a man suspected of stabbing five men to death and wounding another eight in Flint since May, police have said.
Flint police search for serial slasher
Since May, 13 men have been attacked and 5 died
FLINT -- There's still blood on the pavement and fear along South Saginaw Street. Folks are wary over on Miller Road, too.
In fact, there's concern throughout Genesee County as police search for a knife-wielding man who has attacked 13 men since May, killing five.
Update: Police release sketch of Flint slasher.
Arnold Minor was killed Monday morning on South Saginaw near Barton on Flint's south side in front of Deuces Wild Kustom motorcycle shop. The blood was there Thursday.
"We're just trying to get the word out to our friends and family," said Rashandia Jones, a clerk at Diamond Cleaners, next to the bike shop. "Watch where you're at."
All the victims have been black men, and the attacker is described as a younger white man with a muscular build. The victims have tended to be vulnerable -- some with slighter builds, some older and each walking by himself.
Frank Kellybrew was a man who walked by himself and that's how he died, on Miller Road on his way to his room at the Home Town Inn.
Officials are not assigning any racial motive at this point, but they said there is an apparent pattern. The attacker feigns distress or asks for directions before launching his assault, police said.
Michigan State Police are coordinating a task force.
All of the victims were vulnerable, cops say
Kellybrew wasn't the kind of guy looking for trouble.
"No sir," said John Henson, manager of the Home Town Inn motel. "In fact, if he didn't know you, he'd walk across the street to avoid you. Mainly, he'd drink coffee and come watch TV with me in the office."
Trouble found him, though, on Miller Road on Friday in Flint Township.
Kellybrew, 60, died by himself, but he's not alone.
He and four other men have been stabbed to death in Genesee County since May. Another eight men have survived whirlwind knife attacks. Ten of the assaults have been in Flint and the other three in nearby townships.
"From what I've heard, we're having an epidemic," Henson said.
