A man accused of shooting his stepbrother to death and was charged with murder is being held on $50,000 cash bail, according to documents from the Office of the Attorney General. Toshie Salvadore, also known as Charles Tone, was charged with murder as a first-degree felony with notices of deadly weapon used in commission of a felony and commission of a felony while on felony release, and arson as a third-degree felony with notice of commission of a felony while on felony release, a magistrate’s complaint filed in Superior Court states. Around 3:24 a.
m. on Nov. 4, an unidentified man driving a gray Dodge Avenger arrived at the emergency department of the Guam Regional Medical City where he dropped off another unidentified man who appeared to have a gunshot wound to the left side of his chest.
The driver fled without providing any information about the gunshot victim other than identifying him as his brother “Mike Jr” and he was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived. At 5:17 a.m.
the same day, officers received a call of a burning vehicle and found a Dodge Avenger to be completely burnt after having been set on fire. The following day, police identified the victim as Mike Fel by showing his picture to people in the area. Fel’s step-brother, Salvadore, was identified and police went to his house to interview him.
Another person who lived with Salvadore was shown footage of the car at GRMC and she told police the person driving was a relative and they all lived together, the complaint states. Salvadore was arrested on active warrants. At the time, he was on pretrial release in two felony cases.
On Nov. 9, the person who drove the car was interviewed and told police Salvadore drank almost an entire 12-pack of Bud Ice and then stated he was going to check on Fel. The man rode with Salvadore in the Dodge to where Fel was staying and at the residence, Salvadore loaded a pipe with methamphetamine for Fel, documents state.
Salvadore then showed him a gun and began “to act like a gangster” and Salvadore told Fel to sell the drugs and give him the profit, the complaint states. As he spoke, Salvadore was holding the gun pointed at Fel when the gun suddenly discharged, causing Fel to “slump over and gurgle,” documents state. Salvadore began to “freak out” when he realized Fel was shot and the man told Salvadore to take Fel to the hospital, but Salvadore has three active warrants and was afraid of being arrested and instead drove into Dededo, the complaint states.
Salvadore stopped at a convenience store at which time the man got into the driver’s seat and took Fel to the hospital. The man then picked up Salvadore after the hospital and they drove toward “the Paintball area” until the Dodge ran out of gas. Fel’s housemate told police he heard what sounded like a single gunshot discharging shortly after Salvadore arrived and when he checked on the noise, the Dodge was speeding away from the house.
Officers spoke with a woman, who saw Salvadore walking onto a property about 300 yards away from where the burnt vehicle was found. She said she heard Salvadore say he was going to “burn the car” and saw him holding a gas can and shortly after heard the crackling of a fire. Another witness told police while she was driving Salvadore, he became emotional, started crying and asked her to take care of his family.
On Nov. 26, Salvadore was transferred to police custody from the Department of Corrections, where he was still being held on a warrant. He admitted to police that he accidentally shot Fel and he would tell officers where the gun was located if they could let him out of jail, the complaint states.
Salvadore said he had been drinking when he decided to go see Fel. Fel asked him for methamphetamine and Salvadore loaded a pipe and gave it to him. Salvadore first told police that Fel was holding the gun when it accidently went off, but then later admitted to being the person who fired the gun, the complaint states.
