EAU CLAIRE, Mich. – A second person has been charged in the shooting death of a man in Eau Claire earlier this month.

According to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), the shooting happened on November 2 at Main Street and Elm Street.

We’re told 36-year-old Chad Nathen Medlin of Benton Harbor was killed. A second victim was shot but was said to be recovering at last check.
