Kevin Skinner, the Phoenix man accused of murdering his mother in March by suffocating her with a grocery bag, is again facing charges in his mother's death, although the charges were previously dropped.

Skinner, 22, was jailed on a first-degree murder charge on March 3, but was later found incompetent and not restorable, and was committed to a state hospital.

Rebekah Mellon
A Phoenix man was shot in the head and killed Tuesday night, and his wife -- who was arrested in her husband's murder -- was light on the details, as she repeatedly fell asleep in police custody.

Rebekah Mellon faces a first-degree murder charge, as police say she's just about the only one who could've shot her husband of seven years, Donald Mellon Jr.

According to court documents obtained by New Times, someone called the cops to the Mellons' home for an "unknown trouble" around 10 p.m. Tuesday, and nobody answered the door for police.
