One man was killed after an argument between two family members escalated into a shooting early Sunday morning in Hattiesburg.

Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict identified the victim as 40-year-old Ronnie Turner of Hattiesburg.

The incident occurred around 3 a.m. near the intersection of Front and Main streets.

When police arrived, they discovered a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

"Our prayers go out to those affected by the incident," staff of a business located on Front Street said in a Facebook post which has since been deleted. "Please continue to pray for those involved."

Another man involved in the incident was questioned and released. No formal charges have been filed at this time, Hattiesburg Police Department spokesman Ryan Moore said.

The incident remains under investigation. If the man's death is ruled a homicide, it will be the second in Hattiesburg for 2019.

This is a developing story.
