A Michigan man is accused of fatally shooting his neighbor after getting into an argument with him on the street, officials said.

Devereaux Christopher Johnson, 47, of Canton, was arraigned Monday on first-degree murder in connection with the shooting, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said.

The victim – 35-year-old father-of-two Nathan Morris, also of Canton – was shot and killed while on a walk Saturday morning, the prosecutor’s office said.

The suspect allegedly started threatening Morris’ family after one of Morris’ daughters touched the neighbor’s mulch, according to a statement from former RNC National Committeewoman Hima Kolanagireddy, a friend and colleague of the victim’s, shared on the Michigan GOP X account. Morris stayed behind to try and “diffuse” the situation while his family went home, her statement continued.

    333 million people in the states and even more guns. We’re not all nuts. My next door neighbor just thanked me profusely for scraping the weeds out of her driveway, and I didn’t even have to use my rifle!

    Kidding about the rifle, but seriously, don’t let the news make you think every day in America is the purge
