BUDE, Miss. (AP) - One man is dead and another in custody after a shooting in Bude.

Franklin County Sheriff James Newman tells The Natchez Democrat (http://bit.ly/SsvpW8 ) deputies responded to a report of a shooting at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Newman says an apparent argument in the street escalated into gunfire. He says the shooting resulted in the death of 40-year-old Juan Middleton.

The sheriff says the alleged shooter, 26-year-old Brian Middleton, was taken into custody.

Newman said that though the two men have the same last name, at this time it is unclear if they were related.

The shooting remains under investigation.

It was unclear whether Brian Middleton has an attorney.
