The Oakland County medical examiner's office said that Patrick Mikes' death was a homicide.

Mikes' body was found Friday near Montrose in Genesee county.

21-year-old Patrick Mikes Jr., pleaded not guilty Thursday during his arraignment on open murder charges and remains jailed pending an August 27th court hearing.
