Murder suspect turns up in Michigan

A man wanted since Sunday in the stabbing death of a young mother on the Near East Side has surrendered to police in Pontiac, Mich.
Fred D. Brooks III, 20, is charged with murder in the death of Christie M. Lyles, 21, of 544 Lilley Ave. She was the mother of his children.
Police said Brooks turned himself in to Michigan state police on Wednesday night. He faces extradition to Ohio.
Police were called at 8:24 a.m. Sunday by Lyles' mother. They found her daughter dead inside her Near East Side apartment. Lyles' two daughters, 3 months and almost 2 years old, were inside but unharmed.
Brooks killed Lyles during an argument, police said. Neighbors said they heard a fight late Saturday.
Relatives and neighbors reported past disputes between the couple. Court records show that Brooks was charged with domestic violence and assault against Lyles in July 2008. That case was dismissed in Franklin County Municipal Court.

My opinion, I hope the scumbag gets the death penalty. I think I'll keep an eye out for when his trial is and be there to support the family.
