District Attorney, John Weddle revealed on Wednesday, March 17, that the teenager was charged on Lee Mounty, Mississippi.

The indictment was handed down to Michael after a grand jury heard evidence about the killing of 62-year-old Floyd Sullivan in January, TMZ reports.

Michael faces life in prison if convicted and is still in custody, with no pending court date yet announced.

The details surrounding the shooting that took place in Mississippi in January 2020 are still unknown.

Officers from Tupelo Police Department were sent to an address in 500 block of Lumpkin Avenue at around 9.30pm on January 6 where they found Floyd dead from multiple gunshot wounds.

Michael Sullivan was held in a psychiatric facility as a person of interest in the crime following the shooting last January.

Rae Sremmurd’s mother, Bernadette Walker, has since offered information on her son’s medical condition, revealing that Michael suffers from schizoaffective disorder – a mental health condition where people suffer from mood swings, delusions, and other psychotic symptoms associated with schizophrenia.

She expressed that she believed her son may have been off his medication prior to the alleged shooting. She said that Michael had a number of episodes with her before going to live with his father.

The hip-hop duo are yet to comment on their stepfather’s death.
