Little is known about Balaam's life. He was unemployed when he committed his murders and was apparently a crack addict. He lived in Detroit, Michigan in 1995 and may have committed murders there also. His victims were prostitutes, who he would strangle and leave in vacant lots. He was apprehended in 1996 and was identified by four women who reported attacks from him in the past.
