MADISON, Wis. (TCD) -- A 65-year-old man faces a murder charge after he allegedly shot and killed his 25-year-old son during a fight over 25 cents.
According to Madison Police, John told officers he and his son "were arguing over finances when the argument turned physical."
The day of the shooting, Zachary asked John for cash, though John reportedly said he didn’t have any. He eventually gave Zachary $2, though the son reportedly said he needed $2.50. Zachary had some change on him but needed 25 cents more to get to the amount.
John reportedly told detectives he is behind on his mortgage payments and other taxes, so he did not want to give Zachary money. The 25-year-old asked his father often for money.
During their argument, Zachary reportedly punched his father and pushed him, causing him to hit his head on the wall.
The court documents say John shot his son "point blank."
