Samantha Woll did not know her killer. She was stabbed with a straight edge cutting instrument a number of times.

No reason to believe this was a hate crime

From the presser, it sounds like a run-of-the-mill thief who encountered Samantha entering her home after he broke into it.

To clarify, that's my interpretation. Maybe he saw her and followed her to the door.

A stranger has been charged with the killing of local Jewish leader Samantha Woll, according to prosecutors.

Michael Jackson-Bolanos, 28, appears to be a random stranger, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said at a press conference Wednesday announcing the charges.

Worthy said investigators believe Bolanos killed Woll during a larceny or home invasion. Bolanos allegedly lied to police about committing larcenies or attempted larcenies from motor vehicles the day of Woll's death.,,

Man charged with murder in death of Detroit synagogue leader Samantha Woll

Woll, a prominent Jewish leader who also worked with high-profile Democrats in Michigan, was fatally stabbed outside her home in October.

A man being held in connection with the slaying of Detroit synagogue leader Samantha Woll was charged with murder, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The suspect, identified as Michael Jackson-Bolanos, 28, of Detroit, had been taken into custody Sunday as part of the investigation into Woll's death in October, said Wayne County Prosecutor Kim L. Worthy. She added that there are "no facts to suggest" that he knew Woll or that it was a hate crime.

The announcement of a person in custody was the second in as many months after investigators said in November they were holding someone — then released them three days later without further explanation...

I'm grateful to finally have answers to a case that is upsetting to the community and beyond.

Such a senseless loss of a person who loved her community and contributed so much.

May her memory be a blessing.

What I just cannot wrap my head around is why he didn't just run away when she arrived home.
It was dark.
I doubt she could see him clearly.
Why to kill her?

What a senseless tragedy

For sure. "Catch and Release" is ridiculous and reeks of incompetence on the part of LE. JMO

They might arrest if they think the suspect is about to flee, perhaps?
