A south suburban Chicago man known for being very proud of his lawn has been charged with killing a neighbor who let his dog urinate on the man’s front yard.

Charles Clements allegedly shot his neighbor after a dog urinated on his lawn.

University Park, Illinois, resident, Charles Clements, 69, a former Marine, is being held on a $3 million bond in connection with the fatal shooting last Sunday of 23-year-old Joshua Funches.

The victim’s mother is shocked that her son was gunned down on Mother’s Day in what she believes was a minor neighborly dispute.

“My heart is so heavy and it’s so torn and it’s whipped up,” Patricia Funches told ABC News.

“I should not have to bury my son.”
