Michigan officials say the incident was caught on camera
A Michigan man is in jail after he allegedly killed his half-sister on Friday in the parking lot of a family business.
The Macomb County Prosecutor's Office said that Zachary Holston III was exiting the family business in Sterling Heights, Michigan, when his half-sister, Rita Evans, approached him and an argument followed. Evans' husband and daughter were also present at the time.
When Holston tried to get into his car, the three family members approached the passenger door and a "physical altercation" occurred over paperwork inside the vehicle, prosecutors said.
