Suspect in murder of missing Warren woman refuses to attend own trial

MOUNT CLEMENS — What happened to Ashley Elkins of Warren? It's a question Macomb County Assistant Prosecutor Carrie Seward left the jury with during opening statements on Nov. 13 in Macomb Circuit Court at the trial for Deandre Booker, Elkins' ex-boyfriend and the man accused of killing her. Elkins, a mother of two, was last seen Jan. 2, 2025, entering Booker's apartment complex. Her blood was later found all over his bathroom. Her hair, an earring and a fired bullet were found in the drain of his bathtub. Police were never able to find any video of Elkins leaving Booker's apartment, but found surveillance video of Booker using a shopping cart to transport large trash bags to a dumpster multiple apartment complexes over, which showed him struggling to lift the bags into the dumpster. When police checked the dumpster a few days later, they found Elkins' blood pooled at the bottom. But Elkins' body has never been found. "Deandre Booker killed Ashley Elkins on January 2, 2025, cleaned up the scene to get rid of any evidence, put her body in garbage bags, put her in a dumpster, never to be seen again, then lied to police about it," Seward
