ARIZONA CITY, Ariz. -- An Arizona City man is accused of fatally shooting his longtime friend during an argument at a Super Bowl party.
Damian McDowell, 34, was arrested Sunday night and charged with first-degree murder.
According to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, Walter Williams, 34, of Fresno, Calif., and his girlfriend were watching the game at McDowell's home with several other people when the two friends began arguing.
