A guy from Lansing has entered a guilty plea to the charge of murder after the police say he kidnapped and killed the daughter of his ex-girlfriend, who was two years old at the time. The body of the girl was discovered dumped in an alleyway in Detroit.
First-degree murder and first-degree criminal sexual conduct were the charges that Rashad Maleek Trice, who is 27 years old, entered a guilty plea to on Monday, July 1 in the Ingham County Circuit Court.
In the United States District Court for the District of Grand Rapids, Trice had already entered a plea to a different charge, which was kidnapping that resulted in death. His sentence is expected to take place on July 19.
