A 23-year-old Savannah man was served with murder warrants and arrested Sunday night after allegedly shooting his father to death earlier in the evening.
The warrants were served on Torres Antwan Burroughs, and he was arrested about 9 p.m., said Julian Miller, Savannah-Chatham police spokesman.
At about 6 p.m. Sunday, police were called to Mossy Court in the Laurelwood subdivision off Quacco Road to the shooting that occurred during a domestic dispute at a residence, Miller said.
Frank Torres Burroughs, 46, was taken to Memorial University Medical Center by ambulance, where he was declared dead, Miller said.
West Chatham Precinct patrol officers, forensics officers and Violent Crimes detectives were investigating on Mossy Court into the evening.
Police did not release any further information about the incident Sunday night.
“We heard gunshots, so we came outside,” said Sangeeta Kumar, a California native who has been staying in the neighborhood for about six weeks. “It really is a quiet neighborhood.”
