Switzer said the homeowner, identified as Patrick Foster Sr., was dead on scene from multiple gunshot wounds.
A second man also found suffering from gunshot wounds was taken to Merit Health. Switzer said Foster was an acquaintance of the suspect and sometimes let him stay on his property.
There was “some type of dispute and shots were fired,” Switzer said.
