Police arrested a Hillsboro man after they say he shot and killed a friend at a social gathering Tuesday.

Ulizes Escobar, 20, faces manslaughter charges in the death of Luis Diego Hernandez-Garcia, 19, the Hillsboro Police Department said.

Officers responded to reports of shots fired at a home in the 1100 block of Northeast Grant Avenue around 1:55 p.m., said Lt. Henry Reimann, a police spokesman.

There they found the body of Hernandez-Garcia on the floor, authorities said. Emergency personnel tried to revive the young man, but he died at the scene, Reimann said.

Police say several friends were at the home when the shooting occurred, but provided no additional details.

Investigators later obtained a search warrant and found two small caliber weapons inside the residence, police said.

Authorities detained Escobar and booked him into the Washington County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing.
