Video Game

Authorities in Michigan allege a 31-year-old man choked his longtime
boyfriend to death last week during an argument over a video game.
PEOPLE confirms through online records that Docquen Jovo Watkins has been
formally charged with second-degree murder.
Although he has been arraigned, plea information for Watkins was unavailable
Tuesday.
Police allege in a statement that Watkins called the Oakland County Sheriff's
Office to his Pontiac residence on Thursday.
According to the statement, Watkins told authorities he and his boyfriend of
10 years, Rory Teasley, had been in a fight.
The argument reportedly started while the two were playing Overwatch, a
popular team-based shooter game.
Watkins told police that Teasley was sleeping, the statement says, but when
deputies arrived the 28-year-old man was unresponsive on the couch.
According to the police, Teasley wasn't breathing, and deputies had him
rushed to a nearby hospital, where medical officials declared him dead.
Watkins is being held without bond.
It was unclear if he had an attorney Tuesday.
"We see far too often across the country these days when people resort to
violence over trivial and insignificant disagreements," Sheriff Michael
Bouchard said. "There is never a reason where violence is acceptable over a
disagreement. Those that do so will be held accountable."
Teasley's death is Oakland County's first homicide of the year.
