A Police say Benjamin
Middendorf shot his sibling in the chest with a handgun on Thursday night in St
Cloud, south of Orlando.
The Florida man accused of killing his older
brother in an argument over a cheeseburger has appeared in court.
The 25-year-old suspect was
arraigned on Saturday on charges of first-degree premeditated murder.
The altercation began when
the 28-year-old victim, Nicholas Middendorf, their mother and a third man
returned to the home from a night out, according to a police report.
"I just shot my
brother on accident," a distraught man is heard telling a 911 dispatcher
in audio of the call released by police.
"We were in a fight
and I grabbed a gun and I shot him. Oh God. I’m so sorry."
Mr Middendorf was
pronounced dead at the scene.
A woman's voice could be
heard on the 911 call saying: "I hope you go to jail."
St Cloud Police Department
spokesperson Denise Roberts told Bay News 9: "This is an impulsive incident
that happened. Maybe anger rage.
"But it was definitely
over a verbal dispute that sadly, it was over a cheeseburger."
