A North Carolina man who won a $10 million scratch off prize in 2017 has been charged with murder, the New York Post reported.
According to the report, Michael, 52, of Leland, was arrested on Tuesday after a hotel housekeeper found a 23 year old woman named Keonna dead inside his suite. A local NBC affiliate reported that he checked in on Sunday and checked out on Monday, and that he was seen alone during his stay. The housekeeper made the discovery when she went to clean the room.
Keonna’s cousin, Antionette Lee, told reporters, “We are hurting. We are in pain. Our family is devastated.” Family described her as a generous and adventurous woman. She worked as a correctional officer at a prison in Burgaw and also worked with people with disabilities at a rehabilitation center.
Authorities have not released a cause of death. Michael is presumed innocent unless proven guilty, and we will update this story if more is confirmed by officials.
