Monroe Isadore made the comments during an argument in June when he said his daughter and son-in-law didn’t want him around, according to one of several police reports the AP obtained.
“Mr. Isadore stated we would have to shoot him or throw him jail before he went back home with” his son-in-law, one of the reports said. “Mr. Isadore stated he was a hundred and seven years old and GOD told him to do his will.”
Neither Isadore’s daughter nor son-in-law returned phone messages left Tuesday.
Isadore died on Saturday in Pine Bluff after he opened fire on police and authorities shot him.
