In December 2020, Christopher McKinney was accused of stabbing his mother and stepfather after they asked him to stop playing video games in their bedroom while they were trying to sleep, the Detroit Free Press reported at the time. McKinney’s stepfather died of his injuries several days later and the 29-year-old was charged with homicide and assault with intent to murder.
According to Madison Heights Police Chief Corey Haines, “He punched [his] mom in her face breaking her nose. [He] punched [his] stepdad several times, [so his] stepdad went and retrieved a knife from the kitchen to defend himself and his wife. [McKinney] somehow got the knife away from him and then stabbed his mother and stepdad,” Click on Detroit reported.
McKinney resisted arrest and assaulted a fire lieutenant who was administering first aid at the scene, according to the outlet.
Both McKinney’s mother and stepfather were conscious when law enforcement arrived on the scene and reported what had happened, the Click on Detroit reported. Neighbors said that McKinney had previously been homeless but moved in with his mother and stepfather three months before the attack occurred.

Police stated that “this is an ongoing investigation.” McKinney Police Department’s statement continued, “Our hearts go out to the victim’s family during this extremely difficult time.”
