CRAVEN COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Marine formerly stationed at Camp Lejeune, who recently abandoned his post, is at the center of a manhunt after being accused of shooting and killing a 54-year-old man in Virginia.

Authorities believe 22-year-old Michael Alex Brown killed Wilfred Brown; officials are unsure of Michael Brown's motive. He is sought on charges of second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Deputies say, Michael Brown, the suspect, is the son of Rodney Brown's live-in girlfriend.

Michael Brown is a Marine who was last stationed at Camp Lejeune where he worked as a combat engineer. He deserted his post at Camp Lejeune on Oct. 18.

UPDATE:
"You're a very caring, kind young man from everything I've heard, and I believe it, and your conduct for the last eight days shows it. Don't make things worst than they are," Debra Caldwell-Bono said to WSET.

Brown's mother, Vanessa Hanson, begged him to surrender to law enforcement.

"Michael, if you see this, please turn yourself in. I'm scared for you. I love you, baby."

"Its been all this time. He hasn't tried to harm anybody that we know of. We don't know if he did what he was charged with."

"The main thing I think would be to disarm himself so that somebody doesn't get trigger happy and shoot him," Caldwell-Bono said.

"We still care about you. Nobody wants you hurt," Brown's grandmother Diane Hanson said. "We've been speaking with the authorities for a week and they're willing to do anything to get you in safe. And they're working with us and we trust them on this. Please, turn yourself in. Nobody wants to see you die, also."

The FBI and U.S. Marshals have all joined in on the search, and authorities are offering up to $10,000 for information leading to his arrest.
