Detroit — Police have arrested a person of interest in connection with the deaths of three women believed to be the work of a serial killer.
"He's identified as a homeless man named Martin D'Angelo Kenneth," Detroit police chief James Craig said.
Craig released two pictures of the man, hoping to get more information about him.
"We're asking for the public's help: Anyone who knows him, or has had contact with him, please call us," the chief said.
Craig declined to immediately release what evidence officers collected to indicate Kenneth, 35, could be responsible for the three killings.
The chief also said investigators have identified the woman whose body was found Wednesday in an abandoned house on Mack.
"Preliminarily, she's a 55-year-old woman," Craig said, although he withheld her identity because her family had not yet been notified.
Craig said the arrest will not impact a search of vacant homes on the city's east side that was announced by the chief and Mayor Mike Duggan at a press conference Friday morning at Public Safety Headquarters.
"We're still going to do our work," he said. "We will continue searching for more bodies."
During Friday's press conference, Duggan said: ""There's a possibility there could be another vacant house on the east side with a victim inside. We have no reason to believe that, but we have to check."
Craig said police might deploy cadaver dogs to aid in the search. "I hope we don't find any more bodies," he said.
After the press briefing, Craig said he also may enlist the aid of FBI experts who profile serial killers.
Duggan said 40 neighborhood police officers will be deployed in teams of two to search the abandoned houses.
"Once DPD has certified each house (is empty), our eight board-up teams will go out and board up those houses," said Duggan, adding the teams will work six days a week on overtime.
The goal is to have every vacant house on the east side boarded up by the end of July, and all the abandoned houses in the city boarded up by the end of September, Duggan said.

After a woman's body was discovered Wednesday in an abandoned house in the 3000 block of Mack, Craig said detectives made connections between that case and two earlier homicide victims whose bodies also were discovered in vacant houses.
Because of the ongoing case, Craig declined to give further details about the similarities between the cases.
