A Crestview man is charged in connection with a Tuesday morning shooting on Susan Drive.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 37-year old Tyshaun Lamont Tarver of 2358 Susan Drive for shooting his girlfriend’s brother in the leg after a dispute outside the home.

Deputies responded to a call of shots fired around 10:45 a.m. Upon arrival they spoke with a witness who stated the shooter, Tarver, entered the home after the crime, while others drove the victim away in a brown car.

Deputies later located 32-year old Charles Booker at the North Okaloosa Medical Center in Crestview. Upon further investigation it was revealed Booker had been shot in his left leg.

Booker stated he says he has been living with his sister and Tarver off and on and today he and Tarver got into an altercation. Booker further stated Tarver first pointed a rifle at him and the pair fought out in the yard. Tarver then went inside, came out with a handgun, and shot him.

Tarver was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
