It happened in the 7900 block of Terra Canyon Ln, where Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said deputy constables with Precinct 5 were called to a shooting. Responding officers found a man, later identified as Kourtney Peete, shot after what the sheriff only described as an "altercation."
The man was rushed to the hospital, where Sheriff Gonzalez said he died from his injuries.
In a later tweet, the suspected shooter turned himself in to authorities. The sheriff says the unidentified suspect and Peete were "involved in an ongoing dispute involving social media and possibly the sale of marijuana."
It's believed the suspect was outside Peete's home when an argument began between the two and after Peete grabbed a knife. That's when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot him.
