Later Tuesday, after deputies left and while reporters were still outside the home, a man claiming to be the victim's brother showed up and threatened to shoot up the house.
The man, who was extremely emotional, was banging on the door and window and asking a woman to come out and explain how the victim died.

"Mommy, open the door! Open the door! I’m gonna break this s---!" the man yelled. "Open this s--- bruh! Mommy, I’m going to blow this s--- down. Stop playing with me! Oh my God!"
Deputies responded back to the home and were able to calm the man down after speaking with him.
A family friend of the homeowner said a woman lives in the home with her son, who would bring his girlfriend over.
The incident remains under investigation.
