A murder charge and a felon-in-possession count are accusations. What 911 callers said is how the call came in. It is not the medical examiner naming the person who died, and it is not a conviction. He is being held with no bond while that case is built.
Preston Alexander is charged with murder and with possession of a firearm by a felon after a shooting Tuesday morning at a home on Rock Branch Road in Lake Lure, North Carolina. He is being held without bond at the Rutherford County Detention Center.
The sheriff's office said 911 received multiple calls around 10 a.m. Callers reported that Alexander had shot his father. Deputies and Lake Lure police went to the house. Alexander came outside and was taken into custody. Officers then went in and found one person dead from a gunshot wound. The sheriff's office has not released that person's name.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Sabato Charged After Fatal Anchorage Crash
Simmonds is dead, and the case that was filed is about leaving the scene, not a murder count. The video, the damage on the Tahoe, and what Sabato told police about an animal in the road are the facts a jury would have to sort out. Bail and an order not to drive do not decide any of that.
