Around 11:45 p.m. on July 20, police say teenager Carlos McNair and his uncle, Anthony Tyrone Link, got into an argument during a family gathering in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Officials said family members told Link to leave the gathering and as he was leaving in his car, McNair pulled out a gun and opened fire on his uncle.

Police said one round hit Link in the abdomen, but he drove away. However, he did not get far before crashing his Mercedes-Benz, authorities said.

The crash took place about a half-mile from the barbershop Link owned, police said.

Link operated the barbershop for about nine years and people in the neighborhood set up a memorial at the barbershop and called him an asset to the community and a man with a good heart, the Tampa Bay Times stated.

On July 28, McNair walked into the St. Petersburg Police Department and turned himself in to police, authorities said.

Police said McNair faces a second-degree murder charge, but they are still investigating and more charges could be added.
