In a recent act of violence shaking the community of Mesa, a 51-year-old man, named Jason Greene, is currently facing manslaughter charges for the fatal shooting of another man in his residence. This grim incident unfolded on the evening of Sunday, as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix.

Officers were called to the scene near Brown and Greenfield Roads shortly before 8:00 P.M. following a report of possible shots being fired. The authorities arrived at a distressing tableau: a man in his 40s, yet to be identified was found shot to death. It was Greene who allegedly confessed to the act, consequently being arrested and booked into jail. Further details surrounding the shooting have not been released to the public.

The investigation led to some unsettling revelations, as 12 News reports. Initially, Greene told investigators that he was awakened by an unknown individual seeking shelter for the night. According to Greene, this late-night intrusion escalated into an attack against him, which prompted him to use his firearm.

However, Greene later altered his account of that night's events, conceding that he was in fact acquainted with the victim who had been staying at his home for several weeks. An argument between them had apparently culminated in Greene grabbing a gun to force the man out. Court records disclosed that a physical struggle ensued, leading to Greene fatally shooting the man in the chest. He also admitted to heavily drinking throughout the day of the shooting. It remains to be seen how this case will develop as more information comes to light.
