VALDOSTA, Ga. (WTXL) - An argument that led to a shooting left one man dead and another behind bars Saturday night.
It happened just before 11 p.m. near North Troup Street and East Gordon Street.
When Valdosta police arrived, they found a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound. Paramedics tried to treat the man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say witnesses described a vehicle that was seen leaving the area, and police were able to track the car down and arrest one man inside.
