A Mishawaka man has now been charged with shooting and killing a man in downtown South Bend on Tuesday night.

It happened near the intersection of Colfax Avenue and Main Street just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Police say Michael Young put his hands up when police arrived. They say he was carrying two hand guns.

Young is charged with shooting and killing Markest Flowers.

Police found Flowers' body in the street, they say he'd been shot in the head.

Witnesses told detectives they saw Young talking to Flowers, who had a backpack and cup and was walking back and forth downtown.

Witnesses say Young grabbed Flowers by the backpack, spun him around and shoved a gun in his face. Young later told detectives he felt threatened, but didn't intend on firing the gun.

"This can happen anywhere. I don't care where you're at. It can happen anywhere. I'm not gonna criticize Downtown South Bend, Eastside, Westside, Northside," said Corbett. "What I criticize are the suspects that do things like that."

Flowers' body was taken to Kalamazoo for an autopsy.

Young is being held in the St. Joseph County Jail without bond.

Detectives say they have enough probable cause to proceed with the murder charge.
