Security guard fatally shot in Michigan while telling shoppers to wear masks

A Family Dollar store security guard was fatally shot in Flint, Michigan, on Friday after telling a customer her child had to wear a face mask to enter the store, prosecutors said.

An argument began when the security guard, Calvin Munerlyn, 43, told Sharmel Lashe Teague, 45, that customers needed to wear face masks in the store, Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said at a Monday news conference. She yelled at him, spit on him and drove off, Leyton said. About 20 minutes later, her car returned to the store and her husband and son, Larry Edward Teague, 44, and Ramonyea Travon Bishop, 23, stepped out and confronted Munerlyn, according to investigators who spoke to witnesses in the store and reviewed surveillance video. Bishop shot him, Leyton said.

Leyton said Munerlyn was doing his job, protecting others and enforcing a statewide executive order. In Michigan, people are required to wear face coverings in businesses. Stores can refuse service to anyone who isn't wearing a mask.

"We simply can't devolve into an 'us versus them' mentality," he said. "We need to make a commitment as a community to do the things necessary to allow us to stay healthy and turn a page on this crisis together. Not for ourselves but for Calvin Munerlyn, who lost his life needlessly and senselessly."

Michigan State Police arrested Sharmel Teague but are searching for the two men, Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser said.

Social media posts by friends and family memorialized Munerlyn, a father of eight children, by his nickname: "Big Duper." A GoFundMe account for the family has raised more than $22,000, exceeding its goal. Latryna Sims Munerlyn, his wife of 10 years, told NBC 25 that he worked at the store for more than a year.

Here's my headline:

"Biden Supporter Shoots/Kills Security Guard Over Mask Dispute"

I was imagining the headline if the person was a Trump supporter, and decided to turn the tables.

“That is a dreadful story! May this poor man rest in peace and may his killers face the full measure of justice. I honestly don’t see why someone should not be executed for a crime like that. That is just wanton disregard of human life.”

agree 100% ...

But the Michigan Governor will still blame it on “Racist” Flubros.

Maybe someone should tell Fauci and his handlers.

"That’s not the image I had of Flubros and Flubras, but it is the attitude."

No it's not. Don't generalize about a group based on one extreme example. Griping about having to wear a mask is NOT the same "attitude" as murdering someone who tells you to wear a mask.

Technically, I guess they could, after all the initial ‘argument’ started because of it.

DOUBT the state will get the bonus money though.
BUT one never knows.

Bless your heart. Because someone disagrees with your fearmongering you paint them as murderers.

Two lessons to be learned:

1. Stay out of any Family Dollar stores which need security guards.

2. Family Dollar shut down any stores which need a security guard.

On being a moron.

You don’t shoot a security guard for doing his job. You don’t spit on them. You get even argue with them.

This guy did not deserve to die. At the least, she should be charged with first degree murder. No doubt she went home and told her man she had been disrespected.

Frackin animals.
