Source:A 25-year-old Central Florida man gunned down his older brother during an argument about a cheeseburger Thursday night, police said.
Benjamin Middendorf and his mother dialed 911 at 10:05 p.m. saying he shot his brother Nicholas with a .9-mm gun at their St. Cloud home, according to an affidavit released by the St. Cloud Police Department.
“My son shot my son!” their mother screamed on the 911 call. “I hope you go to jail!”
The brothers argued about a cheeseburger after Nicholas Middendorf, 28, and his mother returned to the 6th St. house from drinking at a bar, according to an arrest report cited by the Orlando Sentinel.
The affidavit obtained Friday by the Daily News notes the mother said her two sons were clashing over responsibilities, and Benjamin Middendorf said his older brother was bullying him.
Yet the incident report referenced by the Sentinel and WOFL-TV mentions that a cheeseburger sparked the argument that ended with Nicholas Middendorf lying on the living room floor with a chest wound. St. Cloud police Sgt. Denise Richards later confirmed the account.
First responders from St. Cloud Fire Rescue pronounced the wounded brother dead at 10:17 p.m., the affidavit shows. As an investigating officer walked toward the house about 20 minutes later, he reported hearing their mother say, “My son is going to jail because he shot my other son.”
