Assult suspect arrested Tuesday after search ended in Detroit

Dominic Oyerinde will be arraigned at 1 p.m. Thursday at the County Courthouse in relation to the bludgeoning of his girlfriend.

Police began the search for 20-year-old Oyerinde, an Ann Arbor resident, early Tuesday morning when they found his 17-year-old girlfriend unconscious at the 1100 block of Congress Street.

Officials say the girl, who’s name has not yet been released, is in critical condition after receiving a severe blow to the head from a blunt object, such as a hammer or crowbar.

Officers were able to track footprints in the snow back to a house on 1100 block of Congress St, where witnesses said an argument between the two had originated. That is where police said Oyerinde made off with victim's mini-van, a gray 1997 Honda Odyssey.

Ypsilanti Police Chief Matthew Harshberger said they found Oyerinde on the east side of Detroit at approximately 7:30 Tuesday evening.

"He was sitting in the victim’s mini-van on a side street with a friend when they found him,” Harshberger said.

He said Ypsilanti police were in Detroit on other business and dropped off Oyerinde's wanted poster with city police. A Detroit patrol on duty found the two shortly afterward.

The van was transported back to Ypsilanti for evidence processing. Harshberger also said they do not yet know what blunt object Oyerinde used as a weapon, though, local media has run with a hammer.

Harshberger said Oyerinde is originally from Ann Arbor but is listed as "homeless" at the moment. Oyerinde has three active warrants, one of which is a domestic assault warrant filed about a month ago by the victim. The other warrants involve misdemeanor cases.
