4th family member charged in murder of Family Dollar security guard who asked customer to wear mask

Brya Bishop was arrested days before her 25th birthday and charged with three felonies.

A fourth person in a Michigan family was charged in connection with the murder of a Family Dollar security guard, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Brya Bishop was arrested days before her 25th birthday and charged with three felonies: tampering with evidence, lying to police and being an accessory after the fact, the Genesee County Prosecutor’s office said in a press release.

Three other members of Bishop’s family have been charged with murder in the shooting death of Calvin Munerlyn on May 1.

Prosecutors say Bishop’s mother, Sharmel Teague, began arguing with Munerlyn after he asked her to wear a mask inside a Family Dollar store in downtown Flint and then threw her out of the store when she refused and spit at him.

The 45-year-old Teague did not return, but her husband Larry, 44, and son Ramonyea Bishop, 23, entered the store moments later, police said. The two confronted Munerlyn before Bishop pulled a gun and shot him in the back of the head, according to cops.

Munerlyn, a 43-year-old married father of eight, was rushed to the hospital but died a short time later.

Sharmel Teague was arraigned Tuesday on charges of first-degree premeditated murder and felony firearm possession, but her husband and son, both facing similar charges, are still at large.

Brya Bishop, however, has joined her mother in Genesee County Jail.

“Brya Bishop’s attempts to shield family members will not be tolerated and we will likewise hold anyone else involved in offering shelter and assistance to Larry Teague or Ramonyea Bishop accountable under the law,” county prosecutor David Leyton said in the release.
