Rae Sremmurd's half-brother was charged with first-degree murder after police accused him of fatally shooting his own father.
Michael Sullivan was charged in Lee County, Mississippi after a grand jury heard evidence relating to the case in January. According to the D.A., Floyd Sullivan Jr. was shot at least once on January 6, 2020, before Michael was detained as a person of interest.
Michael's mother, Bernadette Walker, believed Michael might have been off his medication before the alleged shooting. She explained that he had been having episodes with her before going to live with his father.
She revealed Michael suffers from Schizoaffective disorder, which includes symptoms such as mood swings and delusions. Michael was reportedly held for a psychiatric evaluation before he was eventually arrested and taken to jail.
Michael is not facing the death penalty but still faces life in prison if convicted. He's currently in custody with no confirmed court appearance or trial date. Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi have not commented on the incident.
