Man accused of beating mother to death with broomstick handle found incompetent to stand trial

A Michigan man has been found incompetent to stand trial for now in the beating death of his mother involving a broomstick handle, the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office reported. A review hearing will take place in 90 days to as he "is likely to regain competency with treatment," the press release said. The case involves homicide-murder second degree and assault with intent to murder charges that are pending against Armando Jourdain Streeter, 46, of St. Clair Shores. Both charges carry a life sentence. He and his 76-year-old mother lived in the same home; and authorities have accused him of physically beating her to death with a broken broomstick handle on April 5. "Our office will continue to monitor Mr. Streeter's status closely and will resume prosecution when he is found competent to proceed. This decision does not affect the charges brought or the seriousness of the alleged offenses," Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in his statement. The competency hearing took place Tuesday in St. Clair Shores 40th District Court before Judge Mark Fratarcangeli. Streeter is being held without bond while these proceedings take place.

Prosecutors: St. Clair Shores man accused of killing mom with broken broomstick handle

A St. Clair Shores man killed his mother by beating her with a broken broomstick handle, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office. Armando Jourdain Streeter, 46, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of second-degree murder and assault with intent to murder, both of which carry a life sentence upon conviction, a prosecutor's office news release said. It indicates Streeter is accused of killing his 76-year-old mother, with whom he lived, on Saturday. He was being held in the Macomb County Jail without bond after arraignment in 40th District Court in St. Clair Shores. No attorney was listed for Streeter in online court records, which indicate he was represented by appointed counsel and that there was a request for appointed counsel following arraignment. Court records also indicate Streeter was referred for a competency evaluation. A probable cause conference is scheduled for April 15. In his office's release, County Prosecutor Peter Lucido called the allegations "extremely serious and deeply concerning. This terrible act of violence cannot be tolerated, and we will fully pursue justice to the full extent of the law." According to an online story by the Macomb Daily, a detective sergeant told the judge that dispatchers received a call from Streeter's brother saying he found his mother dead in the bedroom "with the end of a broomstick impaled in one of her eyes." A man matching Streeter's full name, age and year of birth was discharged from state prison in January 2024 after serving time on charges of assault with intent to murder and a felony firearms offense from a case in Wayne County in 2001. He was sentenced in 2002 after a jury conviction, according to Michigan Department of Corrections online records. Contact Christina Hall: chall@ Follow her on X, formerly Twitter: @challreporter.
