According to the San Antonio Police Department, two men got into an argument at a home in the 800 block of Pleasure Park Drive around 10 p.m.– then one shot the other in the chest. The Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as Curtis Tarnell, 33. Devonte Campbell, 34, is accused of murder.
Police said the two men were arguing outside of the home when the incident happened, but don't know what started the argument that ended with the use of a firearm.
