On Friday, 1 May, 2020, at about 2 p.m., Calvin Munerlyn, 43, a security guard at a Dollar Store in Flint, Michigan, was shot and killed. 20 minutes earlier, at about 1:40, he had confronted a woman, Sharmel Lashe, and her daughter, and ordered her daughter to wear a mask in the store, as required by Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Stores are allowed to refuse service to customers if they are not wearing a mask. The daughter left, but Sharmel got into an altercation with Calvin Munerlyn. Sharmel is reported as spitting on Munerlyn, then leaving in a red GMC Envoy.
Detroit News reports the event is recorded on surveillance video.
20 minutes later, security cameras showed Sharmel's husband, Larry Edward Teague, 44, and her son, Ramonyear Travon Bishop, 23 arriving at the store in what appears to be the same vehicle. They confronted Munerlyn. The video is reported to show Bishop shooting Munerlyn, who was shot in the back of the head and killed.
Genesse Count Prosecutor David Leyton has filed charges against the three suspects.
Sharmel Lashe has been arrested on a first-degree murder charge and a firearms felony charge.
Her son, Ramonyer Travon Bishop, and her husband, Larry Edward Teague, are being sought. They have been charged with first-degree murder charges, felony firearms charges, and carrying a concealed weapon charges.
Larry Edward Teague is additionally charged with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, a felony, an additional felony firearms charge, and violating the Governor's order, a misdemeanor.
Michigan's felony firearm law is somewhat unusual. It carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison for a conviction of possession of a firearm in the commission or attempted commission of a felony, any felony.

Where are the street protests over this? Oh wait, black-on-black killling. Never mind.
I blame COVID-19 Wuhan virus. Not the disease itself, but the panic induced in otherwise supposedly responsible authorities, who have shut down the economy and taken bizarre steps to “contain” the spread of the virus, then not lifting these strange and unusual actions as conditions improve.
Does no one in this “family” have the same last name?
Using a fire arm to commit a felony is considered a crime in almost all states.
Don’t want a felony gun charge, don’t commit felonies with your gun
It is pretty simple to avoid
I am as pro-2A as anyone on this board, and yet I disagree with you.
Firearms are not evil incarnate - they are merely tools.
But these tools amplify the effective evilness of an evil person using them.
If I get into a verbal altercation with someone over, e.g., a parking space, and if the other party threatens to shoot spitballs at me if I don't accede to his demands, it has a whole different quality than if he threatens to blow my head off with a firearm.

Three last names and they say the whites are the one keeping them segregated.
I have a feeling these low-lifes would have eventually wound up killing someone else, over feeling “disrespected”, regardless of COVID restrictions.
The people who planned and enacted the murder are to be blamed for the murder. A virus from China is not responsible for what those evil people did to that security guard. And that is the truth.
The wife and husband do.
The son is from a different spouse? husband?
This is what happens when wearing of a mask for ten minutes in a store is more intrusive than life in prison for a murder charge.
Sharmel - no need to look.
Does no one in this family have the same last name?
..................
lol...that was my thought too. What a messed up family.
I knew it! Feral descendants of the Toledo War!!
Another tragedy is that you need a security guard at a dollar store.
It is about having a firearm in your possession while committing a felony.
Not the same thing.
For example, possession of marijuana, or tax evasion,writing a bad check,or drunk driving can all be felonies.
Merely exercising your Second Amendment rights while doing one of those in Michigan, and it is a mandatory two years in prison, before any other punishment starts.
Many cases in Michigan where the felony charge results in probation, but the possession of a firearm results in two years mandatory prison.
Would it be different if the person threatened you with a different weapons, such as a flame thrower or a crossbow?
I thought the wife and husband had the same last name. They do not. All three are different, as several other posters noted.
“...It demonizes firearms, and implies they are evil in themselves. ...”
That’s exactly what it was MEANT to do. You know who we are dealing with.
Obamas kids at it again?
