CANTON (WWJ) -- A 21-year-old suspected of shooting and killing another person during a road rage incident in Canton has been arraigned on murder charges.
The Canton Police Department says the suspect, Jacor Burch, appeared in court on Monday to face first-degree murder and felony firearm charges. He is currently held in the Wayne County Jail without a bond.
Maria Phillips, 33, who was arrested on June 16, is facing "accessory after the fact" charges. She is being held in the Wayne County Jail on a $500,000 cash bond.
Investigators say Burch shot and killed 37-year-old Belleville resident, Michael Paul, while on Haggerty Road, between Palmer and Michigan Avenue, at approximately 5:18 p.m. on June 10.
During the incident, the victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was hospitalized in critical condition.
Six days after the shooting, the victim succumbed to his injuries.
