The alleged murderer paid a vibrant tribute to his victim on the day of his funeral. James Salomon Khoury, 71, was shot dead on December 28 in Florida.
Joshua Nareau, 23, is now accused of 2nd degree murder, that is to say without premeditation. The young man who had described his grandfather with tremors in his voice as a ‘father figure’ pleaded not guilty in writing. He was held without bail at the Charlotte County Jail. His next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
