A 42-year-old Michigan man is accused of shooting and killing his brother at an Eastpointe home last week and then lying about the murder to police.
McKinnley Hearon allegedly shot his brother during an argument June 15.
The next day, the victim’s nephew went to the police department to report that his uncle may have been murdered. Police said Hearon told them that his brother wasn’t home, but officers found the 48-year-old victim’s body behind the house in the 16000 block of Stricker.
Hearon is charged with second-degree murder, tampering with evidence, lying to police, and felony firearm. His bond was set at $2,000,000.00 cash/surety.
He will also undergo a mental health evaluation.
