Peter Encalada, 33, faces a second-degree murder charge for allegedly killing Don McMillian, as well as an attempted second-degree murder charge over a victim who lived, Stephan Williams.
The fatal shooting occurred Sunday in the area of 5470 NW 1st Place.
Neighbors said that while a party ensued, arguing broke out and a fight followed. Gunshots then rang out across the neighborhood.
