The murder happened at a home in Fenton Township on July 6, 2024. Deputies from the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a suspicious death at the home, where they found Orhan Hosic, 38, dead with multiple gunshot wounds at the bottom of the stairs in a garage.
Investigators later learned that Hosic had made arrangements on Facebook Marketplace for Brogdon to meet at his home to buy Corvette car seats.
After further investigation, deputies learned Brogdon had been at Hosic’s home for nearly three hours and found that he had Hosic’s phone after the murder.
Police arrested Brogdon two weeks after the murder and searched his home, where they found a Camaro that matched the description of the car seen at Hosic’s home on July 6, 2024, a gun that matched the forensics of the bullets that killed Hosic and a pair of shoes that matched the bloody footprints found in Hosic’s garage.
Brogdon is scheduled for sentencing on May 18. He faces life without parole.
