DETROIT, MI — A 33-year-old St. Clair Shores man has been charged in connection with the death of his girlfriend, whose body was found in a hotel room at MGM Grand Detroit. Daniel S Michalak is accused of stabbing Tia Marie Vellucci, 27, of Davison, and leaving her dead in room 408, authorities said. Police said she also suffered a bite wound to her nose.
Deputies were called to the MGM Grand Casino at 12:49 p.m. Tuesday because Michalak was acting hysterically, police said. They received information that led them to check his hotel room, where they found Vellucci's body on the floor, police said. She had multiple stab wounds.
