According to authorities, a domestic dispute led to the gunfire, which also damaged the bedroom wall and television of a neighboring apartment. Yarber and Oliver share a child, police said, but their relationship to the suspect is unclear at this time.

Police were already looking for three people accused of killing a 16-year-old boy at the complex over the summer. On July 10, Maurice Weems was shot and taken to the hospital, where he died.

According to Channel 2 Action News, Weems had called his paternal grandmother, whom he lived with, asking her for a ride on the day he was killed. His maternal grandmother was previously strangled to death there when he was just 9.

“We do want justice. We hope for justice. We need justice. And we’re asking for justice,” Weems’ paternal grandmother told Channel 2 earlier this year. “But we also know God has his timing too, so we’ll wait.”

On June 3, officers were called to the complex and found 21-year-old Jacquez Harris dead behind a building. He had been shot several times, police said. A 61-year-old woman was also arrested after she allegedly stabbed a 63-year-old woman in the arm there during Memorial Day weekend.

Police said an investigation is ongoing into Saturday’s shooting.
