While other charges are pending, multiple felony offender and parolee Matthew Macon of Lansing, Mich. was arrested on charges that included not reporting to his parole officer.Five women were killed in Lansing this summer within a few weeks.

Eerily, one of the victims was killed in a house where a woman was murdered in 2004. Officials are putting together further charges against Macon. The city has been in a state of fear following the savage murders.

A prison parolee and sex offender was identified as the man suspected of killing five women in the city in a little more than a month, and he could face charges in a sixth death from 2004, authorities said Friday.

Murder and assault charges were being pursued against Matthew Emmanuel Macon, 27, of Lansing, who was paroled from state prison June 26, said Police Chief Mark Alley.

Macon had been in prison off and on since 2001, returning twice for parole violations after serving more than a year and a half for larceny from a person, said state Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan.

Macon also had an extensive juvenile criminal history, including two criminal sexual conduct offenses, breaking and entering, larceny, and unlawfully driving away an automobile, Marlan said.
