Police say 58-year-old Michael Jackson was involved in a heated argument with 26-year-old Pharron Carlos Banks at an apartment on Ridge Run. He was pronounced dead at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital following the shooting.

Gwinnett County Police mobilized its SWAT unit at a Gwinnett County residence on Wednesday. He was arrested without incident, officials say.
