ALTUS — One suspect has been arrested in connection with a shooting that resulted in the death of a man Sunday morning.

Altus Police say 34-year-old Hai Phan was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the torso.

Police received a call at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday that a shooting had occurred at an apartment building at 1209 Springfield.

Police received a description of a vehicle leaving the scene. Officer David Dickerson was on routine patrol and was only two blocks away from the apartment building when he spotted that vehicle.

He stopped the auto and initially observed two occupants. After looking into the vehicle he noticed a third occupant who was a man who had been shot. Officers started to administer CPR but the man was pronounced dead when EMS personnel arrived at the scene.

The victim has ties to Altus but is not to believed from here.
