Heath Allen McConkey is facing one count of first-degree murder.
According to court documents, it all started when McConkey told the victim, who is disabled and only gets around in an electric wheelchair, to get out of his hospital-style bed on Tuesday afternoon in the area of 67th Avenue and Deer Valley Road.
When the victim said no, McConkey "became enraged" and started punching his 72-year-old stepdad in the face with both hands. The victim didn't fight back.
McConkey then pulled his stepdad off the bed and onto the ground and continued to punch and kick him, court paperwork said.
The 46-year-old then got a belt from his room and planned to drag his stepdad out of the house. However, he was "exhausted from beating the victim" so he passed out on the floor.
Surprise, he refused to take his meds.
