PORT ORANGE — An argument over a chili dog between a man and his stepson, followed by another verbal row about what time it was ended when the 68-year-old stepfather shot the younger man to death in front of his mother, police said.

When Port Orange investigators spoke to suspect Danny Holder on Monday, shortly after the fatal shooting of Randall Lowen, Holder uttered that this was "the final straw," according to an arrest report released Tuesday.

Holder, charged with first-degree murder, is being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail with no bail allowed.

Based on the report, Holder shot his 55-year-old stepson in the face as Lowen spoke to his mother Jackie Holder in the kitchen of their residence at the 6500 block of Shahab Lane on Monday about 8 a.m. The three, and an older brother Michael Lowen, share the house.

But family members said Monday that Holder and Lowen drank and argued "regularly." In a phone interview Monday, Michael Holder said the men got along, "as long as they're not drinking."

Monday night though, the pair got into an argument about a chili dog, the arrest report states, but police do not offer any detail into the disagreement. Jackie Holder, 75, told investigators that her husband threatened to shoot her son and she hid Holder's firearm in a drawer.

Tuesday morning as Lowen was getting ready to go to work on his landscaping business, he and Holder got into another argument. Lowen asked Holder what time it was and Holder responded, "You have a clock on the nightstand. Look for yourself," the report states.

At that point, Lowen went to the kitchen where Jackie Holder was standing and she asked her son what the argument was about this time. Lowen began mimicking his stepfather and Holder walked into the kitchen and pulled out a gun, the report states. Jackie Holder told Lowen to run; she heard two loud bangs and watched as her son crumpled to the floor, the report states.

Jackie Holder told police that she placed a towel under her son's head and bolted from the house.

Lowen's daughter, Chantel James, told investigators that she heard the commotion because she was speaking to her grandmother on the phone when Holder and Lowen were bickering, the report states. James said she heard Jackie Holder tell Lowen that he had to leave because she could no longer take the fighting, the report states.

James then heard her grandmother scream and a loud noise she believes was the gunshots, the report states.

Holder, who uses a walker because of ill health, was led from the house after the incident and placed in a squad car. Port Orange Capt.

The only other person who shares the house, Michael Lowen, 57, was on vacation in Colorado. Michael Lowen is Lowen's older brother and he and Holder own the house together.

Micahel Lowen, who was in Colorado on vacation when the tragedy occurred, said his mother telephoned him and told him what happened. Michale Lowen and Holder own the house together.

"I'm at a loss," Michael Lowen said.

Court records show Lowen had been arrested in 2015 for child abuse after his son-in-law accused him of roughing up one of his grandsons. No charges were filed in the incident.

Michael Lowen also obtained an injunction against his younger sibling in 2015 after he said Lowen shoved him to the floor and raised his fists as if he were going to pummel him. When Michael Lowen yelled out for his stepfather, Holder came into the room and ordered Lowen to stop attacking his brother, the petition for injunction states.

In the petition, Michael Lowen stated that his brother "threatens me a minimum of twice a week." He also wrote that Lowen called him names and also insulted his 7-, 8- and 9-year-old grandsons. The children, Michael Lowen wrote in the petition, are not allowed to visit Lowen because of the name-calling. Lowen's daughter, Chantel James, is the children's mother.

Michael Lowen, who said he was flying back home on Tuesday, said while his younger brother got argumentative when he drank, family members never felt that their lives were in danger.

Holder meanwhile, is expected to make his first appearance in the courtroom at the Volusia County Branch jail at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
