Detroit police discovered three bodies in the basement of an abandoned apartment complex in Hyland Park, Mich. during a homicide investigation for a trio who went missing in January,  Michigan State Police 1st Lt. Mike Shaw said Friday (Feb. 3).

Shaw said their identities were not immediately confirmed due to the weather and the condition of the bodies.

But The Detroit News, citing Detroit police sources, reported that they are the remains of two rappers and a friend who went with them to a scheduled performance at a Detroit nightclub that was canceled.

Multiple police departments were searching for rappers Armani Kelly, 27, of Oscoda, 31-year-old Dante Wicker of Melvindale, and their friend Montoya Givens, 31, of Detroit.

Investigators found their bodies Thursday (Feb. 2), shot and under a pile of debris and old construction equipment, at the vacant building that squatters frequent.

Kelly, who went by the stage name Marley Whoop, sent a text on Jan. 21 to his fiancée, Taylor Perrin, saying the show was canceled, according to local station WXYZ. That was the last time Kelly’s mother, Lorrie Kemp, and Perrin heard from him.

Investigators previously said the three were together at Lounge 31 in Detroit for the scheduled performance. What happened to them after that was unknown. Their cellphone and social media activities went silent since the early morning hours of Jan. 22

Kelly was first reported missing to Oscoda police on Jan. 22 after Kemp hadn't heard from him. Using OnStar, she tracked the car Kelly was driving. It was moved three times in Warren, a Detroit suburb, and ended up in a condo complex.

Last week, Warren police arrested a 15-year-old boy driving Kelly's vehicle without a license plate. Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer confirmed Feb. 2 to The Detroit News that the teenager was charged in connection with possessing Kelly’s vehicle.

Authorities have also taken a man into custody for questioning. The teenager accused that man, who had an outstanding warrant, of telling him to pick up the vehicle on Detroit’s west side.
