We also have more information on a deadly shooting in the northeast part of the city Monday near Louisiana and San Antonio.

Police say Nathan Sheckler shot and killed his older brother, Travis, after a fight.

According to the criminal complaint, their mother told police that, “Travis grabbed Nathan by the neck and started punching him.” That’s when their mother says Nathan grabbed a rifle and shot his brother.

Police say Nathan checked to see if his brother was OK and told his mother to call 911 before he took off.

According to court documents, their mother told officers she knew Nathan had a rifle but did not know where it was. She also told police Travis was schizophrenic and had a drug problem. 

This was the second time in three days APD responded to this house. This past Saturday, police say they got a call about Travis instigating a fight.

He is charged with murder.
