Devereaux Christopher Johnson, 47, is charged with murder in the death of a neighbor who had been out with his family for a walk.
A Michigan man is accused of fatally shooting a neighbor after a dispute that reportedly began about mulch on Saturday.
The incident began when Devereaux Christopher Johnson, 47, started an argument with Nathan Morris, 35, who was shot while taking a walk with his family in their Canton, Michigan, neighborhood, Wayne County prosecutors announced. Johnson allegedly then pulled out a handgun and fired multiple rounds.
Police officials told WXYZ-TV in Detroit that detectives are still trying to work out the details but believe the argument began over wood chips.
Morris reportedly then sent his wife and two daughters home as he stayed at Johnson’s property to try to calm things down, but he was then shot, according to a fundraiser page launched by a family friend.
Officers who responded to the scene reported that they found Morris lying in the street with multiple gunshot wounds, according to prosecutors. He was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital.
