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.

That’s probably true, but it can cause her issues for the
rest of her life.
They may be far less issues than if she had remained in that
environment though.
At least it wasn’t “teens”.
Something leads me to believe none of these people were law abiding people. Perhaps the child, but none of the other three. Just a wild guess I admit. 8>)
This is an image of the inventors of the virus who probably know tons more about it than any of those sources of yours, you've mentioned. It's you're life, if you want to entrust it to the WHO, or our esteemed SG, that's your choice - it's a free country. Meh, I'll take cues from the OEM.
That is pathetic. Truly pathetic. What a douche you are.
‘I guess I am wrong too.’
well, at least you’re right about something...
That’s just childish.
You can that again. And the sheep swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
did you read what i wrote above that?
(sigh)
Yes it is. It is related.
Well, at least they didn’t push the Security Guard into a Lake.
If they did, they would getting a bunch of Atta Boy’s here.
Was the guard armed? If not, how does he "enforce" these BS orders if he's not armed.
Says glennaro the groveler! :-)
She’s the Al Sharpton lookalike in orange, on the right. A A man is dead and all three are guilty of first degree murder, over the joy of going into a Dollar Store unmasked.
Funny how the white people with fun standing up for their rights and freedom, carry high powered weapons, and dont use them are called racists, but 3 feral blacks who dont want to comply with the rules pop a poor black guy defending a dollar store are called suspects. They should be called what they are, animals!
This is trending on twitter and Yes. Trump is blamed for this
This is exactly the situation that the criminal governor was hoping to create with her illegal orders. She is at fault her, pure and simple.
Leftists hate you, folks. They are the enemy and the responsible person for this event is the Governor of Michigan.

‘Well, at least they didn’t push the Security Guard into a Lake.’
you still butthurt over that cop getting his walkie talkie wet...?
So I’m getting push back on that comment.
And while there has been a lot of anger towards masks cast on this site, I seriously hope no Freeper would go so far as to commit murder. And probably not all flubros are angry anti-maskers. So I’ll admit that comment went too far.
At least they won’t commit direct murder...
The Republican Governor of Ohio put forth a requirement that people where masks in stores. And that resulted in angry protests and threats towards store employees.
It was enough to get the Governor to rescind the order the next day. Now it’s just strongly recommended.
Now more people are going to get Coronavirus without the mask policy that with it. And some of those people are going to die.
Maybe that’s not murder because none of you got so angry to point a gun and pull the trigger. But people will die because of the policy accomodation to the anti-maskers, the results are the same.
