Sharmel L. Teague, 45, of Flint, was arraigned, Tuesday, in 67th Distirct Court on first-degree murder and felony firearm charges. The charges stem from the May 1 shooting death of Calvin James Munerly, a security guard at the Family Dollar off East Fifth Avenue in Flint who was allegedly killed following a dispute over not letting a customer not wearing a mask into the store.
FLINT, Mich. >> A Michigan woman was formally charged today in the fatal shooting of a store security guard who refused to allow her daughter inside because she wasn’t wearing a face mask to protect against transmission of the coronavirus.
Sharmel Teague, 45, was arraigned via video today in district court, according to the Genesee County prosecutor’s office.
Teague, her husband, Larry Teague, 44; and her son, Ramonyea Bishop, 23, face first-degree premeditated murder charges in Friday’s killing of Calvin Munerlyn, 43, at a Family Dollar near downtown Flint.
Larry Teague and Bishop have yet to be arrested and were believed to be on the run, prosecutor David Leyton said.
The three defendants also face gun charges. Larry Teague also is charged with violating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order requiring all customers and employees to wear face coverings inside grocery stores.
Sharmel Teague argued with Munerlyn before leaving the store Friday afternoon, Leyton said Monday. Two men later came to the store, and one of them shot Munerlyn in the back of the head. Witnesses identified Bishop as the man who shot Munerlyn, according to Leyton.
No information has been released about the daughter, who has not been charged in the shooting.
Sharmel Teague was denied bond today and was scheduled for a May 14 probable cause conference.
It was not immediately clear if she has an attorney.
