A brother and sister were charged with murder yesterday in the slaying of their stepfather, who was killed Thursday during what originally appeared to be a home-invasion robbery.

Brae Hansen, 17, told police that her stepfather, La Mesa criminal defense attorney Timothy MacNeil, was shot by an intruder after he refused to open a safe.

Yesterday Hansen and her brother, Nathaniel “Matt” Gann, 20, were charged with murder and with the special-circumstance allegation of murder during a robbery, said district attorney's spokesman Paul Levikow.

Police believe the two plotted to rob their stepfather.

MacNeil, 63, died from a gunshot wound to the head at his Rolando home about 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
