DailyKenn.com — Ryan Patrick Harding, 32, was fatally shot in Fort Wayne, IN.
28-year-old Tyshawn Morris was arrested on preliminary charges of murder and attempted murder.
The suspect apparently resorted to gunfire after being "disrespected."
Officers responded to a home around 5 a.m. after receiving reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they found two men inside the home with gunshot wounds; one man was dead, and the other was wounded.
The incident occurred during a watch party for a professional fight hosted by the homeowner. Although the homeowner did not witness the shooting, he later provided detectives with video footage of the altercation, identifying Morris as the shooter. According to the probable cause affidavit, the video showed Morris arguing with one of the victims.
Morris turned himself in to the police later that morning and recounted the events. He stated that everyone at the party was drinking and having a good time until an argument erupted between him and the surviving victim, who Morris claimed had disrespected him.
Morris attempted to leave the argument and wait for his ride outside, where he continued venting to a woman. The victim allegedly followed him outside and punched him in the face, prompting Morris to pull out his gun and fire 3 to 4 shots.
Morris claimed he was not trying to kill anyone and was aiming low. The gunfire resulted in one man being grazed by a bullet and another being fatally shot. The surviving victim told officers he tried to slap the gun away from Morris and ran away upon realizing he had been shot, hearing more shots as he fled. The second victim was found lying on the floor and was pronounced dead at the scene.
