A Cornell University sophomore was charged Tuesday with murder in the shotgun slaying of his CEO father inside the family’s home, authorities said.
The Monroe County sheriff’s office said deputies responded Monday night to a report of a domestic dispute at a home in Pittsford, an upscale suburb just southeast of Rochester.
When they arrived, deputies said, they found 19-year-old Charles Tan and his mother, Qing Tan, 46, standing in the driveway. Inside, they found the body of 49-year-old Ling Tan, president and CEO of Dynamax Imaging in nearby Canandaigua.
Police said the father had been shot several times with a shotgun, which was found in the garage. The elder Tan had wounds on his upper body, deputies said.
Charles Tan was arraigned Tuesday morning on a second-degree murder charge.

Police had been called to the home several times before for reports of domestic disputes, the sheriff’s office told the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester. Specific information about the calls weren’t released.
