A 61-year-old Coulterville man was charged in Perry County court earlier this week with first-degree murder.
William Farnsworth faces the charges in the death of Jeffrey Harris.
Farnsworth allegedly shot Harris, 51, with a 12-gauge shotgun Friday on Goldeneye Road in Coulterville.
Harris’ body was found in his car by Perry County Sheriff’s deputies. Farnsworth was reportedly at the scene when authorities arrived.
Bond was set at $5 million for Farnsworth on Monday. If convicted, he could face 25 years to life in prison.
A preliminary hearing has been set for Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. at the Perry County Courthouse in Pinckneyville.
