The victim, who had been struck by multiple bullets, was found in front of one of the units, Spencer said. Cleveland, who said he was involved in the shooting, was taken into custody, he added.
Haddicks arrived at his ex-wife’s apartment, but encountered the victim at the door, police said.
That’s when an argument broke out, which led to a fistfight and then gunshots, police said. The victim died at the scene.
