Mt. Clemens, MI –Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido announced that 57-year-old Michael Hogoboom, of Eastpointe, MI, was arraigned on a murder charge stemming from an alleged stabbing that occurred in the group home Hogoboom shared with the victim and five other individuals.
It is alleged that on Monday, Nov. 17, 2025, Hogoboom stabbed his 32-year-old housemate multiple times in their Eastpointe home. Emergency medical personnel were summoned. They administered life-saving measures before transporting the victim to Henry Ford St. John Hospital in Detroit, where he was later pronounced dead.
On Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, Hogoboom was arraigned before Magistrate Mark Makowski at the 38th District Court in Eastpointe, MI. Hogoboom was charged with Homicide - Murder – Second Degree, a life or any term of years felony. Magistrate Makowski set bond at $1 million cash/surety. If he posts bond and is released, he must wear a steel cuff tether, have no contact with the victim’s family, and is not to purchase or possess any firearm or dangerous weapon.
“While conflicts may arise between individuals, resorting to violence is never the answer. It undermines not only the lives directly affected but the stability of our society as a whole. Our office will pursue this case with the utmost seriousness to ensure accountability and to reaffirm that law and order must prevail,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
