"There was a suspect who was taken into custody very nearby the scene here," Woodruff said. "We're certain this is very much a contained and isolated situation. There's no ongoing threat to public safety."
The suspect, also an adult male, and the victim are known to each other, Woodruff said.
The suspect, a 31-year-old, is facing a preliminary charge of murder.
Formal charges haven't been filed, according to online court records.
Police said the incident started as a disturbance between individuals who are known to each other and were staying at the residence where the shooting happened.
The incident remains under investigation.
