Two teenagers were arraigned in 50th District Court in Pontiac on Thursday in connection with a carjacking and shooting at a gas station.
Christopher Eugene Jackson, 17, and his alleged accomplice, Cordero Landrum, 18, were both charged with murder, carjacking and felony possession of a firearm, Local 4 reported.
David Lee Bingham, 38, ran inside a Pontiac Sunoco station on Tuesday to get help after he was carjacked. Police said Jackson followed Bingham into the station and fired four shots into his chest.
"The attendant handed him the phone and dialed 911," said Sgt. William Ware of the Pontiac police. "And as he was on the phone talking to the attendant one of the assailants came in and began shooting."
Bingham (pictured, left) was transported to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Jackson and Landrum are scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on June 21 at 9 a.m.
