A person was shot and killed Friday morning during an argument at a house on the east side of Warner Robins, police there said.

Specific details of the 9:15 a.m. slaying were not immediately divulged.

But in a statement sent to news outlets, police said a “domestic” incident was reported in the 700 block of March Street.

The house where the fatal shooting happened is in a neighborhood between South Davis Drive and Wellborn Road about half a mile southeast of McConnell-Talbert Stadium.

Police said in the statement that “an ex-boyfriend” went to the house “uninvited and an argument ensued. A handgun was used to shoot another person at the residence.”

The victim was later identified as Demarion Harris, 19, of Warner Robins.
