According to the Sheriff’s Department, just after 1:30 am on November 3, Sheriff’s deputies responded to The Pointe apartments in the 1600 block of Bell Street, regarding reports of shots fired.

Investigators believe Stean was involved in a physical altercation with the two men, both acquaintances of his, and that the altercation led to Stean producing a handgun and shooting both victims.
