This is the best summary I could come up with:

According to the document, a witness told police that Miller and another woman, identified as Tiffany Taylor Gray, 22, had cut off the man’s thumb.

Teklemariam also had fractures on his head and had been stabbed in the stomach, affidavit said, noting there was broken glass on his body and bed.

Police also found evidence suggesting cleaning products had been used at the crime scene.

Over several days, surveillance cameras captured Miller, Gray and two men coming and going from the building where Teklemariam lived, according to the affidavit.

They allegedly used his key fob to get into his apartment, taking “several” items, including electronics and watches.

A lawyer listed as Miller’s in court documents could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
