Randall Lowen, 55, of Port Orange, Florida, was shot and killed at his home on Shahab Lane in the Waters Edge subdivision on January 23, 2017. Police say the shooting followed a domestic dispute with his 68-year-old stepfather, Danny Holder, that began the previous evening over an argument about a chili dog and escalated into threats. Randall’s mother was in the home and was unharmed.

According to reports, Holder’s wife hid a gun during the initial confrontation, but the next morning Holder retrieved another firearm and shot Randall at about 8 a.m. Port Orange police took Holder into custody and charged him with first-degree murder; he was held at the Volusia County Jail without bond. Holder’s attorney asserted self-defense. Family reactions were split, with Randall’s daughter Chantel James describing him as kind-hearted and asking for privacy, while Holder’s daughter Deanna Holder defended her father and noted his status as a Vietnam veteran.

What details about the dispute or the timeline would help clarify what happened that morning?
