A Tucson man has been arrested in the shooting death of his brother during an argument at a home near Ryan Field, west of Tucson, authorities said.

Richard Scott Coleman, 32, was arrested on charges of second-degree murder after firing a handgun and killing his brother, 34-year-old Andrew B. Coleman.

The incident took place about 7:20 p.m. Friday at a residence in the 7400 block of West Bopp Road, between Old Tucson and Ryan Field west of the Tucson Mountains, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman said.

Responding to a 911 call, deputies "found a deceased adult male at the house. The responding deputies attempted to resuscitate the victim, but were not successful," Deputy Tom Peine said.

Richard Coleman was present at the scene, which took place at his home, and arrested after PCSD Homicide Unit detectives questioned him, Peine said.
