Detroit Man Charged in Non-Fatal Stabbings of Family Members
Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Hamzeh Mohammad Salama, 19, of Detroit, in connection with the non-fatal stabbings of a 51-year-old man, a 42-year-old woman, and a 11-year-old girl, all of Dearborn. The victims are the family members of the defendant.
On January 12, 2025, at approximately 11:33 a.m., Dearborn police officers were dispatched to a hotel in the 200 block of Town Center Drive for a reported stabbing. Upon their arrival, officers located the victims in the lobby of the hotel suffering from multiple stab wounds. Medics arrived on the scene and transported the victims to a local hospital for treatment. It is alleged that Defendant Salama stabbed the victims multiple times with a knife, non-fatally injuring them.
Hamzeh M Salama has been charged with three counts of Assault with Intent to do Great Bodily Harm, three counts of Felonious Assault, and one count of Domestic Violence.*
He was arraigned on January 13, 2025, in 19th District Court and given a $300,000 cash/surety bond. The Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for January 22, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., before Judge Mark Somers. Please request a photograph of the defendant from the Dearborn Police Department.
Prosecutor Kym Worthy said, "This case is yet another example of intra family violence that permeates American society today. It is almost always hard to fathom and accept, but unfortunately, it happens and happens often. We must be vigilant, pay attention, and use every tool in our toolbox to heighten this issue and our response to it."
*The charges are allegations and defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
