A man faces a murder charge in connection to the shooting death of a 52-year-old man in Pleasant Grove Saturday, police say.

Officers were called to the 10600 block of Grady Lane, near North Masters Drive, shortly before noon, Dallas police said.

Police said officers found 52-year-old Luis Cepeda lying on the ground in an open construction site.

Police said a witness told officers a man may have barricaded himself in a home, so SWAT responded to the location later Saturday. Once the scene was deemed safe, Dallas Fire-Rescue pronounced Cepeda dead at the scene.

Volney Woods, 59, was arrested and charged with murder in connection to the shooting, police said.
