Months after a North Carolina man was found beaten to death, officials in Salisbury are accusing his son of the murder.

On Monday, a grand jury indicted 49-year-old Juan Renardo Chunn for first-degree murder in the death of his father, Eugene Milton Chunn.

A warrant has been issued for Juan Chunn’s arrest, officials said. His last known address is in Augusta, Georgia.

Officials were called to Eugene Chunn’s home on April 19, where they found the 75-year-old’s body badly beaten. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
