40-year-old John Darnell Lee has been charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action for the killing of 65-year-old John Whitney, his father.
Police in Hazelwood, Missouri, said that they responded to a call about a shooting at a complex in the 7500 block of Hazelcrest Drive.
Authorities located Whitney in his apartment with a gunshot wound. He was able to talk and told detectives that he had been walking his dog when someone he didn’t know shot him.
