According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the shooting was due to a dispute between the landlord and a tenant that became physical.
In the arrest report, Anson was at the victim's home armed with a semi-automatic pistol and tried to get in by knocking on the window. Anson, the report said, wanted to adjust the thermostat that was in the hallway.
When the victim opened the front door, Anson, the report states, forced himself into the home and started punching him.
