LUCEDALE, Mississippi -- Rocky Lee has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon after authorities say he shot his girlfriend's father.

George County authorities say the shooting happened around midnight on Basin Refuge Road.

The victim, Kenneth Dubose, was shot twice and transported by helicopter to the University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile. He was hit in the hand and the abdomen.

He remains in ICU at USA.

Authorities said Lee is involved with Dubose's daughter, Alicia Dawn Dubose, and she and Lee live together on the same property as Kenneth Dubose.

Something sparked an argument, authorities said, and it escalated into the shooting. The shooting is still under investigation, and a motive is unclear.
