UPDATE: Teen facing murder charges after fatally shooting 70-year-old Detroit man
Police are searching for 17-year-old David Williams. Investigators said he fatally shot Jamie Mintz inside the home when Mintz would not let him in to see his granddaughter. An argument broke out between the two before the teen allegedly shot Mintz in the chest and then ran away from the home.
"He had no enemies. He was a good friend, a good brother-in-law, a good uncle, a good father, a good stepfather. He was just a good man. It hurts, but I just don’t believe, I can’t believe it. One minute he’s here, the next minute, you’re gone. He was gone too soon,” said Mintz's sister-in-law, Pamela Magee.
Mintz just celebrated his 70th birthday.
