Police arrested a Tampa man who they said shot his neighbor during an argument over dog feces.

The shooting happened Oct. 24 in the 9400 block of North 12th Street in Tampa, officials said.



Investigators said Joshame Sewell, 20, and Donte Roberson, 30, were arguing over Roberson's dog defecating on Sewell's lawn when Sewell grabbed a rifle and opened fire on Roberson.

Roberson was hit several times in the right leg and once in the right hand. Police said he is still recovering from his injuries at a local hospital.



Police identified Sewell as the suspect and obtained a warrant for his arrest. On Friday, agents with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force took Sewell into custody in Belle Glade.



Sewell remains behind bars in the Palm Beach County Jail. He is awaiting extradition back to Hillsborough County.
