State police seek 'potential suspect' in deadly York Township stabbings

2 people killed, 3 more injured in home invasion

YORK TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Michigan State Police are looking for a man they are calling "a potential suspect" in the deadly stabbings at a York Township home over the weekend.

State police have released this description of the man:

White man standing between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall, weighing about 150 to 160 pounds and wearing a neon green high-visibility landscaping shirt.

What happened:

Timber Brown, 12, and John Brown, 26, were killed early Saturday morning when someone attacked them at a home on Crane Road near Stony Creek Road.

Timber Brown's mother, Vicki Moore, 31, and the home's 39-year-old owner were critically hurt in the attack. A third adult woman, Moore's friend, suffered minor injuries.

Family members said Moore and her friend were taking their children to a weekend race at Michigan International Speedway and had planned on camping. But because of heavy rains, they decided to stay at the home on Crane Road. Moore's friend knew someone who lived at the home.

Family members told Local 4 that Moore had more than 14 stab wounds and lacerations, a collapsed lung and received 21 pints of blood. They said she was critically injured while protecting her son.

Moore's friend's two daughters who were also in the home were not hurt.

The call for help came in to police at about 6 a.m. and prompted a quiet manhunt.

Police say this was not a random attack, and that it was done by just one person.

A GoFundMe account has been created and the family is asking for support.
