Michigan police searching for three missing rappers find ‘several bodies’

Highland Park, Michigan. Three bodies found in a vacant Detroit-area apartment building during an investigation into the disappearance of three aspiring rappers have been taken to the medical examiner’s office for autopsies, state police said Friday.

Michigan State Police Lieutenant Mike Shaw stated this in a video. Refresh tweeted that the Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office would perform autopsies on the bodies of the three men found on Thursday.

He said it could take up to 48 hours for the results to be released because autopsies could not be performed immediately “due to the weather and the condition of the victims.”

Shaw noted that the bodies were found in “intensely cold” conditions in the basement of an abandoned, rat-infested apartment building in Highland Park, near Detroit.

He said an update would be provided once the bodies were identified and that investigators were looking into “all the evidence we’ve collected from this apartment complex.”

The bodies were discovered during a police investigation into the disappearance of 27-year-old Armani Kelly from Oscoda; Montoya Givens, 31, from Detroit; and Dante Wicker, 31, from Melvindale, who disappeared almost two weeks ago.

The Michigan men were scheduled to perform at a party at Lounge 31 in Detroit on January 21st, but the performance was cancelled. They haven’t been seen since.

The three men met in prison. Kelly and Givens were on parole at the time of their disappearance, according to the state Department of Corrections.

Taylor Perrin, Armani Kelly’s fiancée, told the Detroit Free Press that police had briefed the Kelly family on the discovery.

“Thank you for all the love and prayers during this extremely difficult time,” Kelly’s mother, Lorrie Kemp, wrote on Facebook.
