EVERSON, Wash. – An Everson man accused of killing his father is now facing a more serious murder charge.

Whatcom County Sheriff’s investigators requested that 20-year-old Ethan Knight be charged with 1st degree murder, according to court documents.

Knight is accused of shooting and killing his father, Michael Knight, on January 6th.

Ethan had told deputies that he had shot his father in self defense after Michael pointed a gun at him.

However, audio and video recordings captured the entire incident.

Investigators determined that the only person in the home in possession of a gun that night was Ethan.

Additional evidence confirmed that Ethan intended on killing Michael that evening, leading to the upgraded murder charge.

Ethan is out on bail and a jury trial is set for next March.
