Editor's note: The article has been updated at 1 p.m. ET on May 5 to add additional information including the identity of the shooter as well as his arrest and charging.

Ex-Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter Jorge Masvidal is in the headlines again, but not for something he caused.

According to an initial report from Fox Sports 640AM South Florida on Thursday afternoon, a shooting took place at Masvidal’s house earlier on Thursday. Per the report, and later confirmed by multiple outlets including TMZ, Masvidal's father, Jorge Masvidal Sr., allegedly shot another person during an argument. The early details of the incident were brought to light by local news outlets, including WPLG Local 10 in Miami. The retired fighter was not at his house at the time, as he is preparing to run a Gamebred bareknuckle event on Friday.

The Miami-Dade Police issued a statement to MMA Fighting, although it did not identify the parties. The arrest affidavit obtained by TMZ stated that Masvidal's father was at the house with a man named Luis Leoncini, and the latter told police on the scene that the 67-year-old Masvidal shot him.

“According to the victim,” the statement received by MMA Fighting wrote, “he was involved in an argument that escalated when the subject produced a firearm and shot him. The adult male victim was transported to the hospital in stable condition…The relationship between all the parties on the scene has not been confirmed, however, all parties know each other. The listed owner of the residence is Jorge Masvidal Jr. He was not present during the incident and did not have any involvement.”

At the incident's conclusion, only Leoncini suffered injuries, having been shot in the upper body two times. Emergency response members were treating Leoncini when the Miami-Dade Police officers arrived on the scene. Masvidal came home upon hearing the news, as he was not there during the shooting. Masvidal Sr. was booked by the Miami-Dade Police early Friday morning, according to the county arrest records. He has been charged with attempted second degree murder with a deadly weapon. Police reportedly found a .38 caliber revolver in the kitchen, but did not confirm that it was involved in the shooting.
