Deputies responded and found 25-year-old Ryan McGowan suffering from gunshot wounds, BSO said. McGowan, of Deerfield Beach, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died shortly after.

Mauro Lopez, 27, stayed on scene and was detained, BSO said. The shooting stemmed from an earlier argument between Lopez and McGowan at a different location, according to the preliminary investigation.
