TAMPA, Fla. —
A 25-year-old man faces a charge of second-degree murder in the shooting death of another man early Friday at a bar on South Howard Avenue.
Jarred White was arrested after he approached one of the responding officers and said he just shot someone, according to a Tampa Police Department news release. Police say a 9mm handgun was taken from White's front waistband.
Just before 3 a.m., police were sent to the area of South Howard Avenue and West Azelle Street on a report of a shooting. A 22-year-old man was found with several gunshot wounds.
Despite officers' attempts to save him, the man died from his injuries.
Investigators learned there was an argument between White and the 22-year-old inside a bar and that after leaving, White challenged him to a fight, according to Tampa police. The argument turned physical, with White then allegedly shooting and killing the other man.
White was arrested and taken to the Orient Road Jail.
