A 15-year-old boy shot a prominent Michigan Democrat to death on Sunday after asking him for a dollar, police say.
Police identified the shooter as Lamar Patrick Kemp and the victim as Theodore “Ted” Lawson, the Lansing State Journal reported Monday. Lawson was knocking on doors for a Lansing city council candidate when he was murdered, per the outlet.
Ingham County Prosecutor John Dewane told the press he was charging the teenager as an adult due to the nature of the crime, the Journal reported.
