An Inkster man is facing charges after police say he shot and killed his brother Saturday.

When police arrived at a home in the 26000 block of Ross Street in Inkster just before midnight, they found Michael Phillips, 57, on the floor with a gunshot wound to the chest. 

Police said it is believed that a fight between the victim and his brother, 50-year-old Roderick Phillips, led to the shooting.

Roderick Phillips is charged with second-degree murder and felony firearm. He is due back in court next week.
