A 30-year-old Warren man died Friday morning, approximately seven hours after he was shot during a domestic dispute at his home, police said.

A 41-year-old man who resided with the victim in the 11200 block of Hupp Avenue is considered a suspect and is in police custody.

Warren police received a 911 call from the shooting suspect at approximately 3 a.m. Friday, Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said.

“He said he had gotten into a fight over a relationship and that it was self-defense when he shot” the younger man, Dwyer said. “He’s cooperative (with detectives) so far.”

Officers who went to the home, located near Hoover and Nine Mile roads, arrested the older man without a struggle, Dwyer said. Police confiscated an AR-15 rifle at the scene.

The two men were not identified.

The wounded man was shot in the stomach, and the bullet exited his buttocks. He was in critical condition at Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Warren but died about 10 a.m., the police commissioner said.

Detectives continue to investigate the incident.

It was not immediately known whether any prior domestic problems had occurred at the house and been reported to police prior to Friday.
