Father charged with murder for killing his son because of his sexuality

A 69-year-old Los Angeles man is facing murder and hate crime charges for killing his son because of his sexuality.

Shehada Khalil Issa was arrested following the shooting outside their North Hills home on Tuesday.

He was charged Friday with one count of willful, deliberate and premeditated murder.

Prosecutors said Issa had allegedly threatened to kill his son on prior occasions because he was gay.

If convicted, Issa faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
