When officers arrived, they found the victim dead with a gunshot wound to his torso, Pruneda said.

She said that a man in his 20s is considered a person of interest and is in custody, although it appears that the shooting may have been accidental.

That man was in the apartment when the shooting happened and is being very cooperative with officers, Pruneda said.
