ALLEGAN, Mich — An Allegan man was found guilty of shooting and killing two in a domestic situation, a jury decided Wednesday.
It all began when police were called to a deadly shooting in Lee Township on Nov. 4, 2022.
The suspect, 38-year-old James Rawson Jr., was charged with shooting his ex-wife Char Rawson, 40, several times.
Rawson was also charged with killing 21-year-old son Samuel Williams which records show is Char's older son.
Court documents show Char Rawson was recently granted full custody of their three kids after James did not show up for court.
On the day of the shooting, Char allegedly went to get the kids from the bus stop at James' house along 104th Avenue but her son told investigators it was not her weekend and James was mad at her for that.
When she arrived, police say James came to the doorway and shot at her multiple times, striking her several times.
One of their children told police their father used an AK-47 to shoot their mother and their brother.
Char survived. Her son did not.
Rawson was found guilty of open murder, assault with intent to murder and felony firearms. A sentencing date is yet to be set.
