BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police have charged a 25-year-old man with attempted murder in the shooting of his father during his brother’s funeral repast at a West Baltimore church hall.
Antonio Addision also faces assault and weapons charges stemming from the Tuesday shooting at New Song Worship & Arts Center during a meal after the funeral for Addison’s 22-year-old brother, who shares the same first and last names. He was fatally shot last month.
Police say the 25-year-old Addison and his father got into a dispute after the service that may have been prompted by an omission in the obituary for the dead man.
Addison’s mugshot shows facial injuries. Police spokesman T.J. Smith said Wednesday he suffered those at the hands of family members during the altercation.
Addison’s father is expected to survive.
