BILLINGS — A Billings man is dead after being shot in the head by a neighbor during a dispute on Sunday.
It happened just before 8 p.m. on the 1300 block of Custer Avenue, according to Billings police.
Sgt. Bret Becker of the Billings Police Department said the two men lived a few houses apart from one another, and the dispute started after the victim had left and come back to the shooter’s property twice.
The victim died at the scene after being shot in the head with a pistol. Police did find a separate pistol on the victim’s person.
The suspect had scratches to his head, possibly indicating a struggle shortly before the shooting, according to police. Becker said the men knew each other before the altercation and the suspect is cooperating with the investigation.
