Police initially declared a barricade situation in the area after a suspect in the shooting refused to leave a nearby home, investigators said. Police later said the barricade situation ended and a man, later identified as 64-year-old William Pulver, was taken into custody.
Pulver is charged with murder, violation of the uniform firearms act - no license, possession of an instrument of crime and violation of the uniform firearms act - on streets.
Maribel Ortiz, a resident who lives near the victim, told NBC10 Shinn and Pulver, who were neighbors, had issues for a few years. Ortiz described Shinn as a sweet person who always greeted children in the neighborhood.
