(Michigan City, IN) - More details from the investigation of a fatal and near fatal shooting of two brothers in Michigan City last week indicate there was a heated argument before the trigger started being pulled.

 

D’Marcus Thompson, 23, of Gary is charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with four counts, including murder and Level 1 felony attempted murder.

 

Treven Armstrong, 25, of Gary was killed while his brother, Christopher Armstrong, 24, of Indianapolis was transferred to Memorial Hospital in South Bend with life threatening injuries.

 

According to police reports obtained from the court, the Armstrong’s and a third brother went to a home on May 30 to record music in a studio in the basement of a home belonging to Thompson in the 1800 block of E. Michigan Boulevard.

 

The investigation indicates a pizza was ordered and one of the men began rapping in the recording studio when an argument started between Thompson and the oldest victim.

 

Police said the heated words appear to have been over an individual who’s incarcerated.  It wasn’t long before Thompson is alleged to have pointed a gun at the back of the head of the oldest victim and pulled the trigger.

 

Police said the man who was rapping took cover with more shots going off then heard the younger victim yell that he had been shot.

 

Thompson had a gun on his possession when located and taken into custody in the 300 block of S. Woodland Ave., police said.

 

The suspect was being held in the La Porte County Jail on one million dollars bond.
