The deadly shooting happened Wednesday around 5:25 a.m. outside of an apartment building on Rambling Lane.

Police in Battle Creek say they responded to a noise complaint. According to police, it appears that loud music and a party in the parking lot led to some of the people present confronting each other about the noise, eventually leading to the deadly shooting.
