4th family member charged after Flint security guard murdered over face mask dispute
Brya Bishop, 24, is accused of interfering with the investigation of a Family Dollar security guard's murder in Flint, Mich. and has been charged with three felonies.
FLINT, Mich. (FOX 2) - A fourth family member has been charged following the murder of a security guard at a Family Dollar store in Flint, Mich. last week.
Authorities say 24-year-old Brya Bishop, who is the daughter of the woman who was asked to wear a face mask and is also the sister of the young man accused of shooting the guard, has interfered with the investigation. She's been charged with three felonies: tampering with evidence, lying to police and accessory after the fact.
Police say her brother, 23-year-old Ramonyea Bishop, went up to the store with their stepfather, Larry Teague, to confront the security guard after he got into a fight with Sharmel Teague, 45, about her lack of face covering.
Sharmel went to the store on Fifth Avenue in Flint the afternoon of Friday, May 1 and was asked by security guard Calvin Munerlyn, 43, to put on a face covering.
Authorities say the two got into a fight about it and that Sharmel began yelling at Munerlyn and spit at him. Munerlyn told her to leave the store and told a cashier not to serve her.
The woman left the store and a short time later her husband and her son went to the store and confronted Munerlyn. Her son is alleged to have then pulled out a gun and shot Munerlyn in the back of the head, killing him.
