A Michigan man is being held without bond after killing his boyfriend of 10 years over a video game. Docquen Jovo Watkins, 31, is booked into Oakland County Jail on second-degree murder charges.
Watkins allegedly choked his boyfriend, Rory Teasley, 28, after an argument from the video game Overwatch. Overwatch is a multiplayer video shooting game that assigns players to teams.
Watkins ended up calling the police to his apartment in Pontiac after the argument to tell police that he and his boyfriend got into a fight and his boyfriend was  ‘sleeping’ on the couch.
Once responding officers arrived, Teasley was unconscious and not breathing. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Sheriff Michael Bouchard says, “We see far too often across the country these days when people resort to violence over trivial and insignificant disagreements. There is never a reason where violence is acceptable over a disagreement. Those that do so will be held accountable.”
Watkins will appear in court on Jan. 18.
