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.

“Amish culture ‘
The security guard dissed her”


Yesterday my wife came home from grocery shopping. At our supermarket there are two entrances fairly well spaced apart. Since Wuhan, the store has designated one for entry and one for exit as well as asking one person per cart. They have an employee stationed to keep count of how many are in the store and to make sure these simple rules are followed.

Anyway as my wife was entering through the correct door, four large women of enhanced color came through the wrong door and grabbed a cart to go shopping. Of course the lad monitoring the entry said nothing to them. This story points out why this was a wise move on his part.

When I met her, my wife was a bleeding-heart liberal, but time and experience has changed her thoughts on a lot of things—including ‘Amish’ culture.

Look, I used to live in Flushing which is full of Chinese. The Chinese are fond of face masks, long long before coronavirus.

"The Groveler" is actually a promotion from last week when I was identified as a "Soros Plant" which was a big step up from my position in early April when I was a mere "Stupid A[r]sshole". I'm going places on FreeRepublic ... here that, Jim?!

Actually I'm married 35 years to my beautiful bride so I'm immune to all of this, including the Chinese virus so it seems. Cheers!

I’m not justifying anything, pardner...just wondering why you’re so all fired concerned about an agent backed by the full power of a strong-arming state government getting dunked in a couple of feet of water...

I was wrong....Words you rarely read on FR. The close minded and pig headed reign here.

In five years 90% of them will have died of old age. Perhaps then discussions will be possible again.

Infection is only bad if symptoms develop which, as science has determined does not occur in a substantial number of cases. I’m not saying, of course, that we should try to contract the virus, but that the only way to develop a widespread immunity absent a vaccine is though exposure which occurs whether or not a mask is worn (which applies to the vast majority of mask-wearers who select, apply, wear and maintain their mask so improperly as to render it essentially ineffective (only about five percent effective according to the WHO).

That’s why it’s best to go out of your way to avoid any contact with that segment of society. And get yourself a conceal carry license just in case it’s unavoidable.

Here we go again.

Sorry, I’m not into cowardly violent Antifa like tactics being used against someone being defended by Conservatives.

I could ask if you are you siding with the Scum who murdered the Security Guard now, but I would never do that.

Keep justifying Assault and Battery my FRiend, you wear it well.

I’m sorry my OP triggered you. I thought it was apropos in a Gallows Humor sort of way, but I guess you disagree. Oh well.

So that gives you the right to compare those who don’t agree with you to murderers? You are a bigger piece of work than I thought
