Police did not say what led to the shooting but said evidence shows Richardson fired shots from inside the home, while Lewis was outside. Richardson then drove away in a silver SUV, but returned while officers were on the scene.

He refused to answers about the gunfire, according to police, and a gun was recovered in Richardson's bedroom.

Richardson has been charged with criminal homicide.
