Police: 2 of 6 gang rape suspects arrested

Detroit Police announced Monday that they have arrested two of the six men wanted in connection with a gang rape and robbery earlier this month, which may be connected to two other similar attacks.

Police also identified a third man, though he is still at large.

The suspects arrested so far are Antoine Edward-Ikie Orr, 18, and Jordan Alexander Reese, 17. Orr was arrested Thursday afternoon at his home in the 13500 block of Woodmont, while Reese was arrested Thursday night at 7 Mile and Joann, police said in a news release. Both are being held on $250,000 bail.

Both are suspected of playing a role in a rape and robbery on July 16, when a man and woman were approached by several men and ordered into an alley at gunpoint. Then the woman, 21, was sexually assaulted and the man, 22, was robbed of his belongings, police have said. The pair were then left without some of their clothes.

A second similar incident occurred less than two hours later. Yet another rape and robbery which occurred July 11 and predated both of those attacks, may be connected.

"It's horrifying," said Detroit Police Deputy Chief Charles Fitzgerald said at the time. "It's terrible. It's awful."

Police have not yet specified what the two men are charged with, or whether they are confirmed suspects in the other rapes and robberies.

The third suspect still at large is Chico Lee Bruce, 22. Anyone with details of his whereabouts should call police at 313-596-1950 or Crime Stoppers at 800-SPEAKUP (800-773-2587).
