A diamond watch and stacks of cash laid out on a bed were in pictures and videos posted to Facebook this weekend by Marcus "Big Penn" Samuel.

By late Monday night, the 38-year-old tattoo artist who learned his art in prison was dead.

Robbery is one of the possible motives being investigated by Warren Police.

Late Thursday afternoon, 7 Action News learned that Warren Police have made two arrests in connection with Samuel's murder. A woman was arrested in Detroit and a man was arrested in Clinton Township.
