WILMINGTON -- A man is dead after a late night shooting on McRae Street in Wilmington. His family says the death was senseless.

Derrick "Dooby" Marshall, Jr. was shot to death after an apparent argument over a handgun. It happened on the 500 block of McRae Street in an abandoned building.

Friends and family of Marshall say the man who shot him was his cousin's husband.

Police say it was self defense, and no charges have been made against the shooter.

One eyewitness and close friend of Marshall's says he was an all around good guy.

An autopsy will be done later this weekend, and police say the case is still under investigation.
