Prosecutors said in the statement that, “Defendant Lamoureux is alleged to have fatally attacked the victim multiple times with a sharp object causing his death.”
According to the Detroit Free Press, several acquaintances of O’Leary had apparently become concerned because he had not been heard from for nearly a week, was not answering calls, had stopped attending meetings and had not updated his Facebook profile. Radio historian Art Vuolo later told Click on Detroit, while discussing O’Leary: “He was just a guy who loved music passionately.
He was on the ground floor of what they used to call underground radio, progressive rock radio. He was very discreet. He didn’t get in the way, he wasn’t what they call it in the business, and trust me, I know a lot of people who are high maintenance. He didn’t need a lot of maintenance and that’s what made him so popular.”
Meanwhile, according to Law and Crime Online, this was not the first time Lamoureux had been found guilty, his online jail records revealed that he had a long list of pending charges against him.
