DETROIT (WXYZ) — The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said it received a warrant request in connection to the murder investigation of Samantha Woll.
The Detroit Police Department confirmed Tuesday evening that it submitted a warrant request to the prosecutor's office.
Woll, the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue, was found dead outside of her home the morning of Oct. 21 in Detroit's Lafayette Park neighborhood. Police say she was stabbed.
A suspect was taken into custody on Nov. 8 but was then released two days later. A new person of interest was taken into custody on Sunday, Detroit police said.
The prosecutor's office on Tuesday said a warrant has been requested in the case and is being reviewed. No additional information has been released about the warrant at this time.
"While this is a very promising step in this investigation, the process of moving from the warrant submission to prosecution can be very involved. We continue to ask for the community's patience in this matter while we proceed with the important work ahead," DPD said in a statement Tuesday.
