LIVONIA, Mich. (WJBK) -- A jilted boyfriend told by his girlfriend their relationship was over snaps with an axe and a gun. Sources close to the investigation describe a bloody scene inside a home on Sunnydale near Five Mile and Inkster Road in Livonia.
Police say 19-year-old Brian Douglas White went to the home of his 17-year-old ex-girlfriend.
Investigators say White killed the mother of his ex-girlfriend, 46-year-old Angela Kim Staperfene, and they say he used an axe to kill his ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend, Jacob Lee Burns, 19, of Livonia.
The 17-year-old ex-girlfriend managed to run outside and call 911. She was injured during the violent attack.
