Dig deeper:

Investigators were able to obtain surveillance footage of the incident, during which the victim began interacting with Wren, who was with three other men.

At that point, both the victim and Wren got into a physical altercation, with the victim putting his hands around Wren’s neck, according to the charges.

The two then disappeared out of view, before the victim fell to the ground. Wren can then be seen standing over him with his right arm outstretched and "something in his right hand."

A short time later, Wren and the other three take off running out of camera view.

The three that were accompanying Wren at the time of the shooting have since been released, authorities say.

Further surveillance showed Wren later entering an apartment unit identified as his.

Authorities executed a search warrant at the apartment, where a pistol was recovered from underneath a gray hooded sweatshirt in the corner of a closet. Three magazines and a magazine extender were also recovered, according to charges.

Wren was taken into custody on April 23, where he remains currently.
