Police have not released additional details about what led to the father's death or the specific charges filed against his son.
The Special Crimes Unit typically steps in on cases that need closer scrutiny, which tells neighbors this is not being treated as a minor call. A father is dead, and his own son now faces the accusation, with police still working to determine exactly what happened.
