A man who shot dead his father-in-law at the Grand Pointe apartments in the Millenia area on Wednesday, has been arrested, Orange County deputies said.
William Tarlbert, 27, was taken into custody and charged in the shooting death of Steven Martinez, 51, deputies also said.
Investigators arrived just before 8:30 p.m., where they found Martinez dead inside an apartment on Grand Pointe Boulevard.
Tarlbert told investigators that he had gotten into a physical altercation with Martinez earlier in the day and had gone to a neighbor’s house to call for help.
Martinez’ daughter said she was at home at the time when the two men fought, heard gunshots and left the residence. She also told investigators that the altercation had taken place around 10:30 a.m., on Wednesday.
Tarlbert was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Orange County Jail. He is being held without bond.
