Deputies said two cousins traveled from Atmore to a Molino home around 4 o'clock in the morning.
'A male and a female who are cousins arrive at the female's boyfriend's house. The female goes up to the door and discovers there's another female in that house. That ultimately leads to a fight that takes place right around the doorway,' Sheriff Chip Simmons of ECSO said.
That's when deputies said 45-year-old Edward Lewis came out of the house and fired shots. One of those shots struck 36-year-old Aundray Butler.
Lewis was arrested was charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, claiming the shooting was an act of self-defense.
Butler, who deputies said gave them a fake name, was taken to the hospital.
After he was released, deputies said Butler was involved in another incident at a local hotel.
'We got a call on an unrelated domestic dispute and we ended up going other there this time we ascertained his true identity, found out that he had warrants on him for felony domestic violence,' Simmons said.
