A father of two young girls was allegedly shot dead by a neighbor who angrily confronted him after his daughter “touched the mulch” in his yard while the family was on a walk in their suburban Michigan neighborhood.
Nathan Morris, 35, was on a walk with his wife and daughters, ages 2 and 5, near their home in Canton just before noon Saturday when police say their neighbor Deveraux Christopher Johnson, 47, confronted him and the two got into an argument, Fox 2 Detroit reported.
Johnson was reportedly upset that Morris’ daughter “touched the mulch” on his property, the Michigan GOP wrote about Morris, a party member involved in local politics.
The neighbor took a gun out and started threatening the family,” the post alleged.
Nathan sent his family home and said that he would try and [defuse] the situation, but instead was shot and killed.”
Johnson fired multiple times, killing Morris, who was unarmed, prosecutors said.
When Canton police officers arrived, they discovered Morris with a gunshot wound in the street while the suspect had barricaded himself inside his home.
Morris was taken to a hospital, where he later died, police said.
After several orders to surrender, Johnson came out of his house repeatedly saying, “Praise to God Almighty” and was taken into custody. He was charged with first-degree murder and other felonies.
Morris, who worked at Ford as an engineer, recently got into politics and was affiliated with the Michigan GOP in Wayne. ***

That is a strange blurb to throw into a murder story. Is the MSM saying the unarmed father of two deserved killing?
Yes, I think you’re right.
Make him swim across lake superior.
Understood. Good eye!
No it is the zipper of his shirt
I didn’t guess correctly. Why would somebody shoot somebody because they’re toddler touched a piece of bark?
Need a place with more sharks. Lake Pontchartrain?
I think he’s saying, because it wasn’t premeditated. I hope they do a thorough investigation to make sure there wasn’t some previous issue. Because the modem seems a little strange here.
The articles says: “He was charged with first-degree murder and other felonies.”
Much more serious than manslaughter.
I don't get it.
If they’re motive is correct, you would think so.
Gee, I wonder what those other felonies could be? And what else all the enemedia reports are leaving out..
Inquiring minds want to know ...
The cackling hyena will bail him out no sweat!
Around blacks, never relax.
He was just protecting his mulch against white terrorism/privilege...
He’ll get a slap on the wrist and be back on the streets inside a year or two...
Viva Michiganistan!
Viva Wretched Whitmer!
“Aloha snackbar” <==> “Allahu Ackbar”
Looks like Bubbles from “the Wire.”
Since no mention of race was made in the article, the conclusion was foreordained.
Just walk away is right. Trying to defuse like a good and reasonable human being, will only make the crazy, crazier. Do engage! With crazy, dangerous people who crave it.
