Calvin Munerlyn, the security guard who was shot and killed in Michigan in early May after asking a customer to wear a face mask, was a father of eight.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said in a statement Munerlyn was “simply doing his job” to uphold the governor’s orders at the Family Dollar store where he worked.
Charges of first-degree premeditated murder have been brought against Ramonyea Travon Bishop, 23, Larry Edward Teague, 44, and Sharmel Lashe Teague, 45, the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.
“He was devoted, loving, kind-hearted, courageous, brave, just committed,” she said. “He was just loved everywhere,” Munerlyn’s widow, Latryna Munerlyn, told CNN. “That was senseless and stupid. And now my babies (are) without a father for the rest of their life.”
