A Detroit man is charged with first-degree murder after a flea-market dispute in Warren left a vendor dead, prosecutors say.
Zarick Lamont Johnson, 41, allegedly assaulted one brother and twice drove a 2004 Chevrolet Express van into Mirhad Cehic outside the County Line Trade Center on Dequindre Road on Sept. 26. Cehic was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Johnson also faces a misdemeanor assault count and a felony charge for committing an offense with a motor vehicle. He pleaded not guilty, was denied bond, and is held at the Macomb County Jail.
Prosecutors said the argument involved a power washer. A probable cause conference is set for Oct. 13 in 37th District Court in Warren.
Local coverage this week revisited the charging decisions as the family of the slain vendor continues to mourn.
