A Huntsville man has been arrested and charged with murder following a shooting Monday evening.

Huntsville Police officers arrested Byron Alexander Peterson, 22, in connection with the death of 53-year-old Demetrius Jones.

Officers responded to the shooting after 6 p.m. on Monday at 240 Martin Rd. Upon arrival, they found Jones in the doorway of his apartment with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Major Crimes Unit Investigators determined Peterson and Jones, who lived in the same apartment complex, had an ongoing dispute for several months. On Monday, Peterson went to Jones’ apartment where an argument between the two escalated, leading to the shooting. Peterson was located moments later in a nearby apartment and detained.

A handgun in Jones’ apartment and a handgun in Peterson’s apartment were located and taken from the scene as the investigation continues.
