Son Accused of Killing Grammy-Nominated Father | Venice Beach News
Description
Micah Sykes, 31, son of Grammy-nominated baritone Jubilant Sykes, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges after allegedly stabbing his father to death inside their Santa Monica home using a dagger, garden shears, and barbell. The 71-year-old musician, known for his global performances and 2010 Grammy nomination, was found fatally injured; Micah, who has a history of mental illness, is now held without bail and faces life in prison if convicted. Authorities warn of the alarming vulnerability of seniors to violence—even from family—and have issued a protective order barring Micah from contacting his mother or approaching the family home. His next court date is September 2nd.
