The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Martel Huggins, faces serious charges, including murder and assault. Jail records accessed by Law&Crime reveal that Huggins was detained at the Lucas County Corrections Center on Tuesday.

The victim, 27-year-old Malicai Calder, had been reported missing in Toledo over the weekend. Toledo Police Department officers launched a search effort, and on Tuesday, they made a significant breakthrough when they spotted Calder’s work vehicle being driven through the city.

Upon stopping the vehicle on Mulberry Drive, police found it was not Calder behind the wheel but rather Huggins. The discovery led to a shocking revelation when officers uncovered incriminating evidence, as reported by local ABC affiliate WTVG.

Police stopped the vehicle on Mulberry Drive and pulled over the driver. It wasn”t Calder. Rather, it was a different man later identified as Huggins, and officers found incriminating signs, local ABC affiliate WTVG reported.

Specifically, body parts of Calder were apparently inside the vehicle.

The victim reportedly had stab and gunshot wounds to his head. The county coroner’s office ruled his death a homicide and stated his body had been dismembered.

Officers had gone to Calder’s home, where they apparently found a dog barking, the shower running, and the TV on. His vehicle was also reported missing.

It is unclear whether Calder and Huggins had a relationship before the victim’s death. Any possible motive has not been announced by authorities.

Huggins is being held in jail on a $1 million bond and is expected in court next month.
