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. ***

Looks like a zipper
“You can’t “defuse” crazy and drugged up.”
Or a religious wacko.
If he can’t do it in person a helpful Democrat operative will vote for him
So many violent lunatics...And why the evil in government want to disarm normal law abiding folk..
Another i didn’t do nuffn crowd member.
In a roundabout way, yes, they are saying that.
Maybe some reason they think his murder might be politically motivated in some way?
Exactly. Like so many other criminals who murder.
It isn’t jewelry it is a zipper
Bubbles from The Wire series
“First Degree Manslaughter.”
He was charged with first degree murder.
You don’t have to look for crazy. That’s a zipper with a zipper pull. There’s enough crazy without making up stuff.
Possible.
We have no idea if that's exactly what might have happened.
I get real tired of hearing this. We have what is in the article.
Where are you seeing that there was any “confrontation”?
In the article. Nathan sent his family home and said that he would try and [defuse] the situation, but instead was shot and killed.”
This whacko is unhinged.
Maybe but I would say more likely that he is just evil.
TOUCHED THE MULCH !!??!!
Nice people who are used to talking it out and fair play and all of that other veneer of civilization stuff often become victims because they are not prepared for the level of violence someone who's veneer has flaked off can deal out.
And the world needs more nice people in it not less.
Glad you got out of it ok.
“TOUCHED THE MULCH !!??!!”
Sounds like a suggestive euphemism.
What would be great if the DOC showed him a video of a group of people now dancing on his mulch.
I invented a lawnmower for lesbians. It’s called a carpet mulcher.
Thx. I may need new 🤓😂
Having to use phone, for now.
Unhinged AND evil.
“... discovered Morris with a gunshot wound in the street...” That would be an English class failure. Exceedingly poor writing on the part of the reporter and editor.
“Morris, who worked at Ford as an engineer, recently got into politics and was affiliated with the Michigan GOP in Wayne.”
recently into politics? as an engineer for ford, good chance he’s been voting one way for years, and not GOP.
I pray God allows that.
