At some point "guns were produced, and the subject fired his weapon," police said in a statement.
According to an arrest report, Ealey called police to report the shooting and when officers arrived Ealey was standing outside with a trail of blood coming out of the home onto the front porch and to the side of the house.
Officers found a firearm on a table inside the home, along with several spent bullet casings in the kitchen area, the report said.

The nephew ran from the home and was found at a nearby business covered in blood. He'd been shot several times in the mid-section of his body and once in his arm, the report said.
He was taken to Aventura Hospital in critical condition.
A large section of the arrest report was redacted so further details about what led to the shooting weren't available.
Ealey was arrested and booked into jail. Attorney information wasn't available.
