Hall is accused of shooting Manuel Mendez to death in the 2100 block of Gilmore Drive early Saturday morning. Police say Mendez confronted Hall about pointing a gun at someone because they didn’t want him drinking and driving with a child in his car. That’s when Hall shot Mendez.

Hall is facing charges of aggravated battery, criminal recklessness, neglect of a dependent and carrying a handgun without a permit.
