Chilling video shows ‘utility worker’ at Michigan couple’s doorstep just hours before he meets gruesome fate

This is the chilling moment a utility worker turned up at the door of an elderly Michigan couple just hours before he and another man allegedly killed the husband and injured the wife.

A man wearing a long white T-shirt, a face mask and a yellow reflective vest was captured on Ring camera footage at the couple’s home.

“We’re DTE,” the man said, referring to the Detroit Edison Energy Company. “We’re checking for gas leaks,” he continued, before showing a clipboard with a piece of paper.

Another man, wearing the same outfit, was seen standing guard from the front entrance around 8 p.m. Thursday, according to video obtained by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office.

The two men are accused of killing the homeowner, Hussein Murray, 72, in his basement in the upscale neighborhood of Rochester Hills, about 25 miles outside Detroit, and taping the his wife, also 72, who managed to call 911.

Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the men and any information.

“We are looking for two males who were driving a white pickup truck with orange cones in the bed of the truck,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a statement.

The two men are accused of killing Hussein Murray, 72, in their basement in the exclusive Rochester Hills neighborhood, about 25 miles outside Detroit, and taping his wife, also 72, , who managed to call 911.

Police said Murray died at noon Friday at his home on Newcastle Drive.

Officers were sent to the home after the woman, who has not been identified, called 911, where they found her bound and her hands taped, according to the release.

She told deputies she believed her husband might have been kidnapped, but when they checked the house to make sure the intruders were gone, they found Murray’s body in the basement.

Due to the amount of blood, officers could not tell if he had been shot.

The woman said the two men had come to her home the night before to check for a “gas leak” but were turned away. When they showed up the next day, the husband allowed them into the house and escorted them down to the basement.

When the men returned upstairs, Murray was not with them and she assumed he had been kidnapped, police said in a statement.

Murray owned a business in Wayne County. His wife was briefly hospitalized but has since been released, according to The Detroit News.

Police are working to determine if the scammers took anything from the home and are encouraging residents to be careful with unexpected visits to their homes.

Grandson Tarek Murray took to Facebook last night to talk about the horrific tragedy.

“My grandfather, Hussein Murray, was killed today in a home invasion/robbery. My grandmother was hit, but is currently in stable and safe condition,” the post read.

‘They didn’t deserve this. It’s just not fair. I can’t believe they do that.

DTE issued a statement Friday evening, encouraging customers to be aware of copycats following the attack.

“If someone comes to your home or business claiming to be from DTE, ask to see a badge with a photo ID,” he wrote in a statement. ‘If the person refuses to show their badge, do not allow them into your home. If the person is agitated or acting strange, call 911 immediately.”

The energy company also said it does not supply gas to Rochester Hills residents, although it has gas transmission pipelines in the area.

The company also told customers that “it is very rare that a DTE employee will need to enter your home, but it does happen.”

“DTE will take every opportunity to inform you of any work that needs to be done on your home and, if possible, will contact you in advance to schedule a time for the work to be done,” says the communicated
