Sheriff’s officials said Flores got into an argument with another man about 2:40 p.m.

‘Apparently the argument escalated with both men producing handguns and they started shooting at each other,’ said Deputy Derrick Thompson.

Flores died at the scene, authorities said. The suspect, who fled, is believed to have been injured in the gunfight.
