CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Nueces Medical Examiner's Office has identified the 24-year-old man killed Thursday morning as Brendan Shay Graham.
Corpus Christi Police Department officers said Ashlyn Orr was arrested in connection to his death in a Bay Area neighborhood.
CCPD units responded to a call on Lansdown Drive, near Harry Street, at 3:05 a.m. Thursday and found Graham shot in the torso.
"He was abruptly transported to local hospital, since he has passed from the gunshot wound," said Corpus Christi Police Department Public Information Officer Brandon Garcia.
Orr will be charged with murder and was booked in the City's Detention Center on Thursday morning.
Authorities said the preliminary information leads them to believe the disturbance escalated into a shooting. They also believe Orr was in a relationship with Graham.
A neighbor said he was initially shocked to see the police on his block, but once he heard what happened, that it wasn't a surprise.
"It’s really pessimistic to say, but, I, like, I mentioned with my mother before, you kind of learn to expect bad things to happen when you see patterns like this and I’ve seen it in other stuff and it doesn’t really end well usually," the neighbor said.
The neighbor said he witnessed several instances where the man would have angry episodes. At times the police were called.
"There been several times before that the police have shown up as well and has checked on them, but I don't know the outcome of any of those whether he got in trouble or anything like that," the neighbor said.
The neighbor said he's not sure if domestic violence played a role in this situation but that it could be possible.
"I don't know how much it may have contributed on either sides," the neighbor said. "I don't know details about them personally, other than he would have his moments."
