MACOMB COUNTY, MI — A suspect has been arrested in connection with the Oct. 1 execution-style murder of a 6-year-old Macomb County boy and two others, according to multiple reports.

The suspect is in police custody and charges have been sought from the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office, James David Dickson of The Detroit News reported. The suspect was arrested at a home in West Bloomfield, according to The Detroit News.

In addition to the 6-year-old boy's murder, a 28-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man also were killed in what have been described as connected murders.

The boy and the woman were found dead in the 2100 block of Otis in Warren, The Detroit Free Press previously reported. Both were shot at least once in the head, according to the Free Press.

The murders may be drug related, the Free Press reported.
