The argument continued at a nearby house where he got shot on the stairs.
Lornes was rushed to the hospital where he later on died.
The suspect, whose name couldn’t be released because he’s a juvenile, initially said that it was not him who fired the shot. He was arrested and is currently being held for investigation of manslaughter, second-degree assault, three counts of felony menacing, attempting to influence a public official, and juvenile in possession of a handgun.
