- Authorities said a firearm was recovered near where the man was shot, though what prompted the gunfire remains unclear.
- A large disturbance formed outside the home after the shooting, and police detained more than a dozen people from the residence.
- Officers used a less-lethal projectile while dispersing the crowd, and one person was treated at the scene and taken to a hospital; no officers were injured.
- Investigators withheld the deceased man’s identity pending notification of relatives, and OC Hawk video showed a man loaded into an ambulance who appeared to be bleeding from the neck.
