Ex-MSU star Keith Appling to be virtually arraigned Thursday, following murder charge

Former basketball star Keith Appling and his girlfriend are set to be arraigned via Zoom Thursday in Detroit's 36th District Court.

Appling faces charges on one count of first-degree murder, one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and two counts of felony firearm, said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.

According to police, Appling fatally shot his relative multiple times on May 22 after an argument over a handgun and fled the scene with the help of his 28-year-old girlfriend — who is facing charges on one count of accessory after the fact and one count of lying to a police officer.
