GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - A judge will decide if a Grand Rapids teenager will face trial for the murder of his own half-brother.

Royale Runyon, 18, has been in jail for five months on un-related robbery charges. Two weeks ago, prosecutors charged him with the December murder of 20-year-old Mahdi Hayes.

Runyon is only charged with killing his older brother, but he is also suspected of killing his brother's ex-girlfriend just a few days before.

Runyon cracked a few smiles and even a laugh while sitting in the courtroom Friday afternoon, listening to his friend Ronald Fleming testify.

"They were tight," Fleming said of the brothers' relationship. "They were together.  They were close."

Fleming says he was with Runyon the day Hayes was murdered. Fleming was also with Runyon when he was arrested at the candlelight vigil for Hayes.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) -- The number of people in Michigan traveling this Memorial Day is expected to be close to the same as last year, but the people behind the "Pure Michigan" campaign say this big weekend for the travel industry is going to be kicking off a record breaking year for tourism.

"It doesn't matter what the weather sends our way. There is always something to do in Michigan." According to Pure Michigan Spokesperson Dave Lorenz, this could be the biggest year yet for tourism in Michigan.

"Our industry is growing."

Lorenz says 2012 brought in about $18 billion in economic activity. He's predicting 2013 to be about 3-4% higher than last year.

"Great news, because much of that will come from Michigan residents, but most of it will probably come from people from outside of Michigan."

Hollywood has come to West Michigan, and now you you can see just where the stars made their magic. 

The Michigan Film Office is teaming up with the state’s Pure Michigan tourism campaign to release a map featuring locations that can be seen on the silver screen. The map features spots in Grand Rapids, Coopersville, Holland, Kalamazoo, Ludington, Traverse City, Manistee, South Haven, Niles and Buchanan.

The featured locations in Grand Rapids include Vito’s Pizza (30 Minutes or Less) and MadCap Coffee (The Setup).
