Detroit man accused of killing stepbrother, telling mother he died of overdose
DETROIT (FOX 2) - A man allegedly killed his stepbrother then told their mother that the victim died of an overdose, a judge said during the suspect's arraignment.
Christopher Charles Johnson Jr., 32, is accused of shooting his 22-year-old stepbrother during an argument in the 11700 block of Sussex in Detroit early Thursday.
Johnson is charged with second-degree murder, discharging a weapon in or at a building causing death, possession of a firearm by a felon, and felony firearms.
In court on Monday, the judge said he tried to cover up the crime before he got caught, calling it "very concerning."
He was denied bond.
