A 41-year-old man was killed in Gilbert Sunday morning after what police described as an altercation involving the man's roommate.

The victim died at the scene, a home near Chandler Heights and Higley Road, police said.

The shooting occurred around 11:30 a.m. Sunday, according to Lt. Hugh White, public information officer for the Gilbert Police Department.

Police recovered a weapon at the scene. A 20-year-old man, identified as a roommate, was taken into custody in connection with the shooting, White said.

"The investigation is ongoing at this time," White said late Sunday. "No further information is available at this time, but I anticipate releasing more information tomorrow, as more information becomes available."

Police did not release the name of either the victim or the man taken into custody.
