DELAND, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a 25-year-old man fatally shot his stepfather during an argument at a central Florida apartment complex.

DeLand police Lt. Juan Millan tells news outlets that police arrested Alonzo Harkness in nearby Daytona Beach on Sunday, hours after the 60-year-old stepfather was killed.

Millan says investigators are still trying to determine what led to the shooting.

The stepfather's name hasn't yet been released.

Harkness is charged with second-degree murder. An attorney isn't listed on jail records.
