2 Men Convicted In Killing Of Well-Known Oakland County Jeweler

PONTIAC, MI — Two men were convicted Thursday in the killing of a well-known Oakland County jeweler whose ostentatious custom diamonds and chains are a favorite for music artists, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.

Oak Park jeweler Daniel "Hutch" Hutchinson was fatally shot while sitting in his SUV on the 21,000 block of Greenfield Road in Oak Park, according to police.

His store, Hutch's Jewelry, is on the 23,000 block of Greenfield Road in Oak Park.

Marco Bisbikis and Roy Larry were charged with first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree premeditated murder, assault with intent to murder, and two counts of felony firearm in connection with the shooting.

An Oakland County jury convicted Bisbikis and Larry of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder after deliberating for an hour and half before reaching the unanimous guilty verdict.

Bisbikis and Larry were placed in the Oakland County Jail until their sentencing, which is scheduled for 11 a.m. on June 12. Both men face a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

The trial lasted eight days, and prosecutors called 21 witnesses and admitted over 200 pieces of evidence.

"The evidence revealed an elaborate and shocking sequence of events that ultimately led to the murder of Dan Hutchison and the attempted murder of Marisa Hutchinson," Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said. "I am proud of the diligent work from the trial team and the law enforcement professionals who investigated this case, which allowed us to present the jury with overwhelming evidence. I commend them for their unwavering commitment to justice for the victims and the community. This was a horrible and tragic crime and I hope that today’s verdict brings some peace to the family and loved ones of Dan Hutchinson."

Two other people, Darnell Larry and Angelo Raptoplous, had already pleaded guilty to solicitation to commit murder and received deals to testify against Bisbikis and Roy Larry. Neither has been sentenced yet.
