Boyfriend Strangles Detroit Mother Of Two, Stacey Smith, Before Burning Her Body

The Detroit community is in shock following the brutal murder of 48-year-old Stacey Smith, a mother of two, who was found strangled to death in her home located in the area of Telegraph & 8 Mile last week on June 9. The incident occurred after an argument with her boyfriend, who has been identified as the primary suspect in the case.

According to authorities, it is alleged that Stacey’s boyfriend fatally strangled her before burning her body. The heinous act was discovered by Stacey’s devastated daughter, who made the heartbreaking discovery upon returning home.

Following the discovery of the crime scene, the suspect fled from the premises, prompting an immediate investigation by the Detroit Police. After days of intensive efforts, the authorities managed to locate and apprehend the suspect earlier this week. He is currently in custody and is expected to face charges related to the murder of Stacey Smith.

The loss of Stacey has left behind a profound impact on her family, friends, and the wider community. She is survived by her 19-year-old and 14-year-old children, who are now left without a mother to care for them.
