DETROIT (AP) - A third man has been charged in the fatal shooting of a Detroit musician who was killed after performing at a Christmas Eve church service.

An ex-convict, 28-year-old Devan Williams, was arraigned Monday on charges of murder and carjacking, plus other crimes. He was returned to jail without bond. A lawyer will be assigned.

Police say Anthony Tolson was ordered out of his Chevy Trailblazer on Dec. 24 and shot on Detroit’s east side. He had played bass guitar at a Christmas Eve service and was heading to his mother’s home with gifts for his three children.



Police say the 33-year-old Tolson was killed over the expensive rims on his car.
