Married Couple and Son Sentenced to Life in Prison Without Parole for Fatal Shooting of Security Guard in Flint, Michigan

A married couple and their son were sentenced to life in prison without parole on Tuesday for the fatal shooting of a security guard in Flint, Michigan. The incident occurred shortly after the security guard, 43-year-old Calvin Munerlyn, asked the couple’s daughter to wear a mask while shopping at the store just north of downtown Flint.

Munerlyn was shot after he told the woman’s daughter she had to leave for not wearing a mask. The couple and their son were convicted of first-degree premeditated murder, a crime that carries a mandatory punishment of life in prison without parole. The trial spanned several weeks before the three were convicted.

The shooting sparked outrage in the community, with many calling for justice for Munerlyn. The Munerlyn family released a statement after the sentencing, thanking the court for their decision and expressing their gratitude for the community’s support.

The three defendants will serve their sentences at the Michigan Department of Corrections. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of following safety protocols during the pandemic, and the consequences of not doing so.
