A Baton Rouge man was arrested Sunday in the July 20 shooting that injured two people following a scuffle over a false accusation, according to Baton Rouge Police.

Shykeem Tyshawn McNeal, 26, is accused of pulling out a handgun during an argument with a man who had falsely accused him of home invasion, and as a fight ensued the firearm went off twice and struck two people, the arrest report says.

The man had accused McNeal of being involved in a home invasion robbery earlier that day in the 900 block of North Donmoore Avenue, the report says; however, police said McNeal was not a suspect in that home invasion.

When McNeal pulled out the semi-automatic handgun during the confrontation in the 6800 block of Rembrandt Avenue, the man's daughter and her boyfriend attempted to deescalate the situation, the report says. However, McNeal struck the boyfriend in the head with the firearm, starting a fight for the weapon.
