From the Associated Press – A 19-year-old Detroit-area man has been arrested in the slaying of his father’s 40-year-old former girlfriend. The Wayne County prosecutor’s office says Jarren Cox of Wixom was arraigned Thursday on first-degree murder, witness intimidation and gun charges. Andrea Tucker was shot to death November 17 in the driveway of her eastside Detroit home after dropping her two children off at school. Cox was arrested Monday in Wixom, northwest of Detroit. His 45-year-old father, David Hammond, was ordered earlier this month to stand trial for arson, felonious assault, domestic violence and home invasion. Tucker was the complainant in that case. Hammond was arrested last week after being wanted for questioning in her slaying.
