A man shot and killed Friday at a Redding apartment complex was identified Tuesday by the Shasta County Coroner's Office as a 44-year-old Quincy man.
Dan Fern Bissell was found dead Friday morning at the Bechelli Oaks II Apartments on Layton Road after suffering a single gunshot wound.
An autopsy was being performed Tuesday.
Officers, who have disclosed little information about the shooting, have said they were called to the apartment complex Friday morning regarding a disturbance call.
They were told there were two men arguing, one of whom was armed with a knife outside of the apartment. Shortly afterward, a gunshot was heard, and the man who had called police told dispatchers he had shot the other man.
The unidentified caller who fired the shot was cooperative and provided a statement to investigators, who have said it appears that the shooting was justified.
But, they have said, a report will be filed with the Shasta County District Attorney's Office to decide whether a criminal case will be filed.
