The medical examiner’s office responded to the scene and found a laceration on the victim’s head, along with signs of strangulation.
In the report, McInnis said he and the victim had previous disputes over an estate prior to the incident. McInnis told detectives that, on the day of the incident, the victim gave him a mean look and that “sent him over the edge.”
McInnis was denied parole and has remained in jail since his initial arrest.
