14-year-old boy kills father

(AP) — A 14-year-old boy was arrested today, after shooting and killing his father, a federal agent, at their home in Carson California, authorities said.



The father was found dead after the boy called 911 late Wednesday and said the man had been shot in the back of the head by a bullet fired through a window, from the backyard of their home in Caston, near Los Angeles, sheriff's officials said.



Sheriff's Lt. Holly Francisco said evidence gained from the scene and statements made by the suspect led to the arrest.



The boy was taken into custody at the home and booked for investigation of murder.



No motive for the killing was released.



Authorities said the 42-year-old victim had worked as an agent with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for four years.



Shawn Butler, a friend, said Myron Chisem had moved into the home within the past year and he never saw any trouble between the father and son.



Butler said Chisem had two older daughters and worked at Los Angeles International Airport on contraband and smuggling investigations.



The shooting occurred in a two-story home about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, on a row of modest but tidy homes tucked in an industrial area.
