CLARENCE, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Clarence man is facing second-degree murder charges in the shooting death of his wife.

The Erie County Sheriff's Office arrested Michael Brown, 55, early Thursday morning at the Sheridan Park Village mobile home park. Deputies responded to the home he shared with Deanna Christen, 50, shortly before 3 a.m. and found her body inside. She had died from an apparent gunshot wound.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office announced that Brown was arraigned Thursday in Clarence Town Court on one count of second-degree murder.

Brown was held without bail and is scheduled to return on June 22 for a felony hearing.
