Hussein Murray was the owner of Gold & Glitter Jewelry or Hamtramck Pawn Brokers in Hamtramck, Michigan. At one point, the business was the subject of a viral video in which a store employee flashed his genitals at passerbys.

Original – The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible homicide in the scale neighborhood of Rochester Hills. OCSO reports that a 72-year-old Rochester Hills man was found dead in the basement of his home.
Detectives are looking for two male suspects. OCSO says the suspects were posing as DTE employees. Authorities say the death occurred just before noon on Friday at a residence in the 3700 block of Newcastle.
Deputies responded to the scene when the victim’s wife called 911. At the scene, responding officers found that the wife had been tied up and her hands were duct-taped. The wife informed deputies that she believed her husband may have been kidnapped.
However, deputies found the husband’s body in the basement. Due to the gruesome nature of the injuries, authorities can’t say whether the victim was shot or bludgeoned. The 72-year-old female victim told authorities that the two male suspects came to the home the night before claiming there was a leak.
They were not admitted into the residence. On Friday, the suspects returned and were allowed into the home. The husband accompanied the men into the basement to look for the leak. The woman didn’t see her husband return from the basement and suspected he may have been kidnapped.
OCSO says the husband owned a business in Wayne County. It is not known if anything was taken from the home at this point.
