ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Just a few weeks ago, Amjed A. Abdallah garnered national media attention for putting his Ferndale music studio up for sale on eBay, advertising it as a place where Eminem once recorded.

On Tuesday, he was found dead in that studio, lying in blood and shot twice. Well-known on the local music scene for his percussion work with the popular bar band the Howling Diablos, Abdallah was found at about 11:30 a.m. by a customer of the studio at 430 W. Eight Mile, said Ferndale Police Lt. Norm Raymond.

Based on the condition of the body, Raymond said Abdallah could have been dead for as long as two days, and might have been shot on Sunday. Abdallah, 36, -- known to friends as A.J. -- worked at the studio and lived above it in an apartment, Raymond said."
