Osgood asked to be taken to the hospital claiming he was hurt in a shoving match with his nephew.
The nephew, whose name was redacted from the arrest report, was pronounced dead at Broward Health Medical Center.
During police questioning, Osgood said that his nephew had hit him in the head and threatened to “shoot him in the neck and finish the job this time,” according to the arrest report.
Osgood explained he had been shot in the neck in a previous unrelated incident not involving his nephew. Osgood said he went back into his bedroom and heard a “click-clack,” but he stopped talking to detectives at that point.
Osgood was booked into the Broward County Jail on a charge of second-degree murder with a firearm and is being held without bond, records show.
