DETROIT — A man who was held in custody in connection with the stabbing death of prominent Jewish community leader Samantha Woll has been released, his attorney said Saturday. The person, whose identity has not been released, had been taken into custody Wednesday in Kalamazoo, about 140 miles west of Detroit, authorities said. Detroit police and a spokesperson for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment Saturday.
'While at the scene, police officers observed a trail of blood leading officers to the victim's residence, which is where we believe the crime occurred,' Detroit Police Chief James White told reporters shortly after the slaying. 'What we believe to have happened is after she was attacked inside the home, she stumbled outside and collapsed in the yard.' Early in the investigation, police said there was no evidence to suggest her slaying was a hate crime.
