The two men charged with the homicides of two Westland teens discovered dead in a field on Detroit’s east side in 2012 have been linked to other killings in Detroit.
Fredrick Young, 25, of Detroit and Felando Hunter, 23, who is an inmate in prison in Jackson, were both charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of felony murder and one count of torture, armed robbery, unlawful imprisonment and felony firearm in connection with the Westland teens’ deaths, according to court documents and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office. Young also faces a charge of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Jacob Kudla, 18, and Jourdan Bobbish, 17, went missing July 22, 2012, and a passerby found their decomposing bodies five days later near Coleman A. Young International Airport.
“It is alleged that Young and Hunter robbed, tortured, imprisoned and killed both victims,” said Maria Miller, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office in an e-mail announcing the charging decision.
An autopsy concluded that Kudla died of multiple gunshot wounds and Bobbish from a single gunshot wound to the head.
According to court documents and an official close to the case, Young and Hunter previously have been charged in the death of John Villneff, a 62-year-old Vietnam War veteran whose family said he died trying to protect his granddaughter.
Villneff was fatally shot in August 2012 after the girl, then 12, ran next door to her grandpa’s house because four men broke into her aunt’s home on Rutland on Detroit’s west side, relatives said at the time.
It happened two weeks after the Westland teens disappeared.
Young faces charges of felony murder, assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, first-degree home invasion and felony firearm, and a June 16 trial is scheduled in Wayne County Circuit Court in the case, court documents showed. His attorney in that case could not be reached for comment.
Hunter was found guilty of a slew of charges in connection with Villneff’s death, including felony murder, armed robbery, first-degree home invasion and was convicted of felony murder in the death of Joshua Hayes in Detroit during a home invasion, according to court documents and an official.
Hunter is serving life in prison and is expected to be arraigned Thursday on charges connected to the deaths of the Westland teens.
Young wore yellow jail garb during his video arraignment today before 36th District Court Magistrate Millicent Sherman, and the court entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
She ordered him held without bond and scheduled a preliminary exam on May 13 during the brief hearing.
Officials did not provide a possible motive in the deaths of Kudla and Bobbish.
“More specific details of the case will be presented in court,” Miller said in the news release.
Family members of the Westland teens could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Virgie Kudla, the mother of Jacob Kudla, said shortly after the teens disappeared that they picked up marijuana from a relative and were headed home when they were last seen on Detroit’s east side. She said her son had his medical marijuana card because of pain caused by leg damage from a trampoline accident when he was 6.
After the teens’ bodies were identified, Bobbish’s father, Mike Bobbish, said that they probably were easy targets, young men with new sneakers riding in a car with a souped-up sound system.
Two others had previously been charged with stripping the car that belonged to Kudla, and police said they cleaned it with bleach to hide their fingerprints.
The car was found abandoned in the 8500 block of Beechwood, near Joy Road and I-96 with its sound system missing, authorities said.
Casey Green and Larry Anderson both pleaded guilty to larceny from a motor vehicle and obstruction of justice, court documents showed.
