A Detroit mural artist has been accused of hiding alleged Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley’s alleged fugitive parents at studio.
Andrzej Skora admitted to giving James Crumbley and Jennifer shelter from death threats in the aftermath of the Oxford massacre that their son Ethan, in Michigan, allegedly committed last Thursday.
He claims he didn’t know the couple had been staying at his Detroit studio overnight, but he only learned of the Crumbleys presence at his Detroit office at 1:30am on Saturday.
Jennifer, a real estate agent, is familiar with Sikora’s work and has helped her complete at least one project.
Clarence Dass of Sikora’s legal team told DailyMail.com the Polish-born painter had never knowingly protected Crumbleys from law.
Dass stated that the couple had told Dass on Friday they would only stay for a few more hours in order to not be threatened with death.
According to Clarence Dass, his lawyer, Andrzej Sikora is friends with James Crumbley and Jennifer Crumbley. These are the parents of the alleged school shooting victim Ethan Crumbley. They were both found in the studio of the artist on Bellevue Street at 1:30 am.
Dass stated that there were no warrants, charges or court dates. “My client didn’t know they would be staying over night – he had left the house earlier that day.”
Sikora said that he was aware of the investigation, and had been in conversation with others, despite the fact that there was an arrest warrant for them and they were subject to a huge, publicized manhunt.
He didn’t specify whether he meant law enforcement or lawyers, and declined to comment further, and told the outlet that they ‘will see more information.’
