PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A 22-year-old man is under arrest after authorities say he killed two people, including his grandfather in the Logan section of Philadelphia.
Czar McMichael was taken into police custody Saturday evening, three blocks from his grandfather's home, near North Broad Street and Belfield Avenue.
Investigators said he shot his grandfather Benjamin on Thursday, after the 67-year-old confronted him about the condition of his room.
Around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, two people went to the home to check on the elder McMichael. Investigators said 45-year-old Anthony Ham got into the house through a window, and opened the door for the person accompanying him.
