(WWJ) Federal authorities and Michigan State Police are offering a $5,000 reward to help find two suspects involved in a deadly shooting in Flint after a dispute over wearing a mask.
The U.S. Marshals Service Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team is looking for 44-year old Larry Teague and 23-year old Ramonyea Bishop; both believed to be on the run after the killing last week.
Both men have been charged with first degree murder in the May 1 death of Family Dollar Store security guard Calvin Munerlyn, after Munerlyn told Teague's wife her daughter had to wear a mask to shop in the store under a state order due to the coronavirus.
After Sharmel Teague argued with Munerlyn, she and the daughter left the store, police said. Later, it's alleged, Larry Teague and Bishop, who is Sharmel Teague's on, returned and confronted Munerlyn.
A reward of $2,500 is being offered for information leading to the capture of Bishop, who allegedly pulled the trigger; and an additional $2,500 reward is offered for the tip that leads to the arrest of Larry Teague.
"This senseless act of violence, and the loss of human life over someone doing their job is despicable," said Mark Jankowski, Acting U.S. Marshal for the Eastern District of Michigan. "The United States Marshals Service, and the Michigan State Police will bring these two to justice and they will answer for their crimes."
Sharmel Teague was arraigned on a first degree murder charge on Tuesday. She remains held without bond.
