VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - A 39-year-old man is charged with murder after a California man was found shot to death on Thursday in Van Buren Township.
Mark Shaw of Texas, was charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm. He was arraigned Monday in the 34th District Court and received a $200,000 bond. Prosecutors say Shaw and the victim, 47-year-old Van Nuys, were both truck drivers.
