The man whose remains were found in a burned vehicle near Stoddard Wells Road on April 14 has been identified as a former mixed martial arts fighter.
Local Michigan news website Oakland County One Fifteen said Justin Schalk, known in the MMA world as Justin “Bully” Schalk, grew up in Ferndale, Mich., a small city just outside Detroit, and he graduated from Ferndale High School. Before his death, he had been living in Los Angeles, competing in MMA matches. He last competed in June 2013.
Oakland County One Fifteen reports Schalk had two children. An online fundraiser has been set up to help pay for his memorial service.
Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder. On April 19, Major Allen, 31, and Sean Allen Briskey, 30, were arrested in Montclair on allegations of murder. Both were arraigned Tuesday and pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Briskey may be a former actor with roles in “American Pie Presents: Band Camp” and “Malibu’s Most Wanted,” and the TV show “Judging Amy.” The actor’s IMDb.com profile shares the same birthday and description as Briskey, but the connection has not yet been confirmed by officials.
Briskey and Allen are scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 6 in Victorville.
