Beloved dad shot dead by neighbor after daughter ‘touched the mulch’ while on family walk: report
The New York Post ^ | 08/14/2024 | Isabel Keane

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?

I didn’t guess correctly. Why would somebody shoot somebody because they’re toddler touched a piece of bark?

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.

If they’re motive is correct, you would think so.

Looks like Bubbles from “the Wire.”

Since no mention of race was made in the article, the conclusion was foreordained.

Never try to "defuse the situation" when you have a chance to walk away. If the person is reasonable there is nothing to defuse and if they are unreasonable you can end up dead.

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.
