A man was killed in Lee County last night after being shot in the head, Corner Bill Harris said.

The incident happened Saturday night in Smiths Station on Lee Road 246.

When sheriff's deputies arrived at the home, they found Walter L. Lee III with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.

He was taken to a Columbus hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:41 p.m.

According to Harris, police believe the victim was at his home arguing with another person when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot Lee in the head.

The Lee County Sheriff's office is conducting a homicide investigation to learn what Lee and the other person were arguing about, and to find the suspect.

Harris did not release any information about a possible suspect.
