A 19-year-old man from Livonia, Michigan, killed his former girlfriend's mother and her new boyfriend with an axe before fatally shooting himself in April 2012, according to police and news accounts.

Brian D. White broke into the home near Five Mile and Inkster roads on April 4 and struck 46-year-old Angela Staperfene and 19-year-old Jacob L. Burns with axe blows to the head, Livonia police Lt. Thomas Goralski said. White then killed himself with a gun.

White's 17-year-old former girlfriend, Desiree Staperfene, survived and called 911 at about 12:20 p.m., authorities said. She told a dispatcher that her ex-boyfriend had forced his way in, killed her new boyfriend and then turned the gun on himself.

"My ex-boyfriend broke into my house and killed my current boyfriend and then killed himself," she said on the recording, which the Detroit News obtained and which was released April 10. "The ax is in Jake's head and the gun is in Brian's hand."

Staperfene told the dispatcher that White had held her hostage and beaten her before shooting himself, according to the recording. She was treated at a hospital and released, police said.

She did not appear to know during the call that her mother had also been killed. Angela Staperfene's body was found in an upstairs bedroom, according to news accounts.

Police said the relationship between White and the teenager had recently ended. Because White died at the scene, no one was charged.
