Danville man's friend charged in his shooting death

DANVILLE – When Donald Tetter heard that a Danville man had been arrested in the shooting death of his grandson, Zellner D. Brown IV, he was relieved. But Tetter was also shocked that the man was someone he knew.

"I couldn't believe it. ... I've known A.J. since he (was) born," Tetter said of Alexis J. Brigham, 26, who was charged with his grandson's murder. He said he and Brigham's father were and still are friends.
