BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Authorities in Meridian, Idaho, arrested a 23-year-old man accused of fatally shooting his father-in-law.

Police told the Idaho Statesman (http://is.gd/klVjBR ) that Cameron Post was booked into jail Saturday night on a charge of second-degree murder.

Investigators say Post and his father-in-law, Trent Spreier, had been arguing earlier in the day about the use of a vehicle. At about 7 p.m., officers responded to a shooting outside Spreier's home. Police say the father-in-law was shot once in the face and died at a local hospital.

Nobody witnessed the incident, but police say evidence shows Post fired while he was seated in his vehicle and Spreier was standing at the driver-side door.

An autopsy will be performed Monday.
