FLINT, Mich. -- Flint authorities said a man accused of killing his daughter's fiance has been charged with first-degree murder.
Fifty-nine-year-old Jimmie Williams was arraigned Tuesday and sent back to jail without bond. Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the victim, Daryl Barfield, was attacked at the suspect's home in Flint on Saturday morning.
Leyton said Barfield had been dating Williams' daughter for a number of years and has two children with her.
Leyton said Williams approached the 30-year-old as he was working on a car in the driveway and struck him with a metal rod on the forehead and also with a double-bladed ax.
"I was awakened by the sounds of the girl screaming, crying at the top of her lungs," a neighbor told Local 4. "I went up to my window and saw two guys and a man lying on the ground. They held him there until the police came."
Flint Police Sgt. Leigh Golden said Williams told police that Barfield had disrespected him.
Williams is being held without bond until his next court hearing, which is scheduled for Friday.
Police said he has a criminal record but that there have not been any known incidents of violence between the men in the past.
