A Dead Jew in Detroit

A suspect has finally been taking into custody in connection with the murder of Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll, who was found dead outside her home during the early hours of Oct. 21.

Despite an alarming rise in antisemitism in the wake of Hamas' brutal attack on Israel earlier in October, police have insisted her death was not a hate crime.

The Detroit Police Department said on Wednesday that a suspect is now in custody, but did not release many additional details, saying the investigation is still underway.

The identity of the suspect was not immediately released.

"As part of my continuing commitment to transparency in this matter, I am sharing with the community that a suspect has been taken into custody for the murder of Samantha Woll," Detroit Police Chief James White said Wednesday. "While this is an encouraging development in our desire to bring closure for Ms. Woll's family, it does not represent the conclusion of our work in this case.

Police Chief White last week hinted at a possible suspect but had said there were "some very intricate details about this case" which could not be made public ahead of a suspect announcement.

Last week, cops insisted they remained confident Woll's death was not an antisemitic hate crime, citing evidence gathered so far alongside FBI and state police colleagues.

Committed to transparency other than letting us know the name of the suspect.
