A domestic dispute in a Rancho El Dorado home in Maricopa, Arizona, ended in a fatal shooting on West Duncan Drive. Anthony Hicks, 52, was involved in an escalating argument with his son Julius that moved to the doorway of the bedroom shared by Julius and his brother Demitrious. Anthony pushed the door partially open while Julius tried to hold it closed, and a single gunshot was fired inside the room.

Demitrious later told police he had drawn a Ruger 9mm when he saw his father lunge at Julius and that Anthony moved toward him as if to grab the gun; he said he fired once, striking Anthony in the left side of his torso. Emergency responders took Anthony to Chandler Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:29 p.m. Investigators recovered the handgun, a magazine, and a cartridge casing, interviewed both sons and a cousin who had called 911, and charged Demitrious Hicks with second-degree manslaughter, citing that he intentionally fired the weapon knowing it could cause serious injury or death.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw or heard the argument and can add detail about what happened earlier in the evening?
