Via Orlando Sentinel:

A 25-year-old St. Cloud man is facing murder charges after shooting and killing his brother Thursday night during an argument over a cheeseburger, police said.

Benjamin Middendorf called 911 about 10 p.m. and told police he had just shot his brother, Nicholas, at their home on Sixth Street, between Michigan and Virginia avenues, an arrest report said.

Nicholas Middendorf, 28, was later declared dead at the home from a single gunshot wound to the chest, police said.

In the 911 call, Benjamin Middendorf is heard screaming and shouting at a dispatcher that he was “trying to hold the pressure” on his brother’s chest. He’s also heard telling the dispatcher they “were in a fight and I grabbed a gun and I shot him. Oh, my God.”

Police talked with Benjamin Middendorf, who said he doesn’t drink alcohol and was home when his mom and brother came back from the bar, the report states. Nicholas started bullying him, Benjamin told police, and they argued over a cheeseburger.

He said he couldn’t remember much after that, according to the report. Police said Benjamin owns a 9 mm pistol and had blood on his clothes and body.

Middendorf is facing a charge of first-degree murder and is being held in the Osceola County Jail.
