WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) –  Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced Wednesday that a man has been charged with the murder of Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll

Worthy charged Michael Manual Jackson-Bolanos, 28, of Detroit, with homicide felony murder, lying to a peace officer, and home invasion.

Worthy said Wednesday that there are no facts that suggest that Jackson-Bolanos knew Woll or that the murder was a hate crime. 

Woll, 40, the president of Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, was found outside her home in the Lafayette Park neighborhood on Saturday, Oct. 21. 

Woll attended a wedding the night before and returned home from the wedding sometime after midnight. 

Investigators found no signs of forced entry into Woll’s residence and believe she was stabbed inside her home before making her way out to her yard, where she was found. 

On Tuesday, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said that it received a warrant request in the case. Prior to the request, Detroit police confirmed a second person of interest was taken into custody on Sunday. Authorities arrested another person on Nov. 8 but released them three days later

Worthy said Jackson-Bolanos was not the first person who was arrested.

Court records show he was sentenced in 2014 and 2019 for receiving and concealing stolen property.
