FLINT, MI -- The man police say shot and killed Marcus Lamonde Payne outside of a Flint Township McDonald's early Monday morning is facing his second murder charge in nearly 15 months.


Genesee County Sheriff
Dantrell D. Conerly

Dantrell Dante Conerly, 23, of Flint, was arraigned on charges of open murder, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon and felony firearms this afternoon by Genesee District Judge Christopher R. Odette.

A jury found Conerly not guilty in March 2011 for the 2005 death of 16-year-old Bar'Ontay Bradshaw.

Then, authorities charged Conerly with Bradshaw's death after the teen's body was discovered in a wooded area behind Northwestern High School.

Now, authorities allege Conerly fatally shot Payne outside of the restaurant on Ballenger Highway, just south of Flushing Road.

Authorities responded to the restaurant at 2:04 a.m. Monday for a complaint about a disorderly person in the parking lot.

Flint Township Sgt. James Baldwin said it appeared that Payne was acting disorderly in the parking lot and was was eventually shot multiple times after an argument ensued between him and Conerly.

Police do not believe Payne was armed at the time of his death. Witnesses at the scene provided police with a vehicle description and license plate number of the shooting suspect.

Conerly and a 22-year-old woman, who has not been charged in connection with the incident, were located by the Michigan State Police near Ballenger Highway and Raskob Street in Flint at minutes after the shooting.

Odette asked Conerly about his criminal record during today's arraignment. Conerly responded that he had parking tickets and some misdemeanors, but he failed to mention the previous murder charge.

Conerly is being held in the Genesee County Jail without bond.
