An Oakland County man killed Friday in an upscale Rochester Hills neighborhood was identified as 72-year-old Hussein Murray.

The county sheriff's office is still searching for one of two men who were impersonating DTE workers believed to be responsible for the death. The other was taken into custody in Louisiana on Saturday. The Oakland County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, according to a news release from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

"Our family is deeply saddened by the loss of my grandfather Hussein. My grandfather was a man with a heart of gold, who treated all those around him with kindness and compassion. He has made a lasting impact with our family and community, and I'm beyond proud to call him my grandfather," grandson Hussein Murray said in a statement to the Free Press.

"I am eternally grateful for the support the community has shown our family in this difficult time. We are also grateful for the Oakland County Sheriff's Department's tireless work in seeking justice for my grandfather, and compassion for our grieving process. We are heartbroken by the news of his death, but our family will bond through this with the resolve he has instilled in us by being the man he was," said Murray, who was named after his grandfather.

Murray was found dead in the basement of his home in the 3700 block of Newcastle. His wife called 911. When deputies arrived on the scene, they found that she had been tied up and her hands had been duct taped, the sheriff's office said. She told deputies she thought her husband may have been kidnapped.

The woman told deputies that the two men had came to the home Thursday about a gas leak. They were not let in. They came back on Friday and were allowed into the home. Murray went with the two men into the basement, seemingly to look for the leak, according to the news release.

The 72-year-old woman was briefly in the hospital after the incident but has been released.

Sheriff Michael Bouchard called the incident a "tragic murder" and said, in the news release, that "we will leave no stone unturned seeking the perpetrators of this heinous act."

"I urge them to turn themselves in, because in any event we will find you," Bouchard said, before one suspect was in custody.
