Authorities continued to search Thursday for a 19-year-old Chicago man charged with fatally shooting another man during a family dispute in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee police are searching for Devontae Turner in connection to a homicide on Oct. 24, 2016.

An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for Devontae Turner, who faces a charge of second-degree reckless homicide in the shooting of 47-year-old Derrick D. Ball.

Ball died of multiple gunshot wounds Monday after he was found in the 3200 block of N. 24th St., police said.

According to the criminal complaint:

Ball had been among a group of family members and friends who confronted Turner about a sexual relationship he was having with a woman whose former romantic partner was imprisoned. The family tried to get Turner to leave the woman and Turner "got irritated" and pulled out a gun. When Ball asked if Turner was really going to shooting a relative "over a girl," Turner aimed the gun at him.

Ball began running and Turner chased him, firing several shots and fatally wounding Ball.
