The South Lyon father who was shot late last month when his son was killed has died.
Kevin Stamper, 43, hospitalized since the Dec. 30 shooting in the 300 block of Liberty Street in South Lyon, was pronounced dead Jan. 26.
His son, Dylan, 17, died at the scene.
The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office said Kevin Stamper’s death has been ruled a homicide, and its cause was multiple gunshot wounds with complications.
Fadi Jesus Zeineh, 19, and Anthony Marshall Porter, 27, face charges in connection with the incident. Police said earlier that evidence suggests the shootings happened during what was supposed to be a marijuana purchase from Dylan.

Porter is charged with six felonies for armed robbery and firearms offenses.
