Michigan Murder Over Mulch: A Father’s Death Shocks Suburban Detroit
In a shocking incident, a man in Michigan is facing murder and firearms charges following an altercation over mulch that resulted in the death of a father.
The conflict arose when the deceased’s daughter touched mulch or wood chips on the property of 47-year-old Devereaux Christopher Johnson, investigators report.
The victim, 35-year-old Nathan Morris, encountered Johnson near his residence in Canton Township on a fateful Saturday morning. It was here, the police report, that Johnson commenced threatening Morris and his family.
In the aftermath of the dispute, Morris was found injured in the street with a gunshot wound. Despite being rushed to a hospital, he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police officers arriving at the scene found Johnson barricaded within his home. He eventually emerged and was apprehended by law enforcement.
“The Canton Police Department sends our deepest condolences to the victim’s family, and to the neighbors who may have witnessed this tragic event,” Canton Police Chief Chad Baugh said. “This was a senseless act of violence toward the victim.”
It was revealed that Johnson has a past riddled with violent behavior, involving assaults on neighbors, police officers, and charges of criminal sexual conduct dating back to the 1990s.
Community members expressed to WXYZ-TV that Johnson’s demeanor had become worryingly more violent and unstable in the recent weeks.
“Everybody has been telling their wives and kids be careful, don’t (make) eye to eye contact. Don’t walk across alone,” shared one neighbor, Vish Vadari.
A heartrending aspect of this tragedy is the young family Morris left behind. He was a husband and father to two young daughters, aged 2 and 5. To aid the bereaved family, a donation campaign has been created on GiveSendGo.

An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

To murder someone is a human free-will decision. There will always be a weapon available as shown worldwide. Mental illness is the problem needing treatment!

Intent to murder is a free-will decision and there will always be a weapon available. What is needed is treatment for mental illness and an incarceration program to get these people away from society.

It was revealed that Johnson has a past riddled with violent behavior, involving assaults on neighbors, police officers, and charges of criminal sexual conduct dating back to the 1990s.
He should have been put down years ago.

This story like so many that we see now days, is piss poor. With the way that this story is told you don’t have the slightest clue as to what really happened. We must assume a lot because no facts or details are given. Touching the neighbors mulch? Translates to ” trespassing and stealing. Parts of his troubled past could be induced by the people that are the neighbors? This article was a piss poor job.

gun law was violated. sexual assault? He was a felon. Didn’t obey the law? yes, should have neen put down earlier. Like a DUI, someone innocent has to die before action is taken? socialist Amerika. Be glad when SHE/IT dies (soon). Restore the republic of We the people, that Lincoln destroyed

The shooter seemed to have mental illness and should not have had a gun.

Kids that age are too curious, and the shooter should have just told the girl to go home or tell the father to take the girl home. For some reason shooting and killing kids for any reason seems to become the actions of adults these days. Of course killing babies being legal just gets extended to kids. Adults in todays culture don’t think kids are supposed to be active and do go where they aren’t suppose to. Danger and rights of others don’t get learned by kids until older. This adult would have killed sooner or later and it’s too bad the law system didn’t move to put some control on him by using the law. He had a history of explosive problems. The Father probably moved to get his kid and received the killer’s explosive anger.

Unfortunately there is no solution to “what should be done with people like this shooter”? The only answer is to put a bullet in him before he puts one in you,or,God forbid,an innocent child! This man is crazy. He shouldn’t have a gun. All well and good,yes,no guns for people like this. Now try and stop him from obtaining a weapon. You can’t. No amount of laws can stop him or someone else like him from doing something like this.
