A Detroit man has been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a Highland Park business owner, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced Monday.

Paul Clifton McColor, 53, was arraigned Monday on murder, larceny, felon in possession of a firearm and two felony firearm charges in connection with the killing of Saad Hanna Halabo, 53, of West Bloomfield Township, Worthy's office said in a release.

Halabo was shot at his check-cashing business in 13930 block of Woodward around 4:16 p.m. Friday.

Police found Halabo inside the store dead with a gunshot wound to the face. 

McColor was arrested Saturday following an investigation by Michigan State Police.
