Fatal shooting in Thousand Oaks reportedly involved 80-year-old roommates
Sheriff's authorities are investigating a homicide in Thousand Oaks apparently involving a dispute between two 80-year-old roommates Wednesday night.
The incident was reported around 10 p.m. when deputies were asked to check the well being of residents in the 2400 block of Avenida de Las Plantas, said Ventura County Sheriff's Sgt. Cyrus Zadeh.
The fatality occurred in a single-family home near the intersection with Calle Gladiolo. The site is in a residential neighborhood near Bridges Charter School, located generally west of Highway 23 and south of Avenida de Los Arboles.
Deputies found one man in the home shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The second man remained at the residence and was initially detained by deputies.
The two apparently had a physical altercation prior to the gunfire, sheriff's officials said.
The men, both 80, were roommates, authorities said. No additional details about them were available Thursday afternoon.
The sheriff's major crimes unit took over the investigation.
Detectives ultimately arrested Edward Anthony Fegley on suspicion of murder. Fegley was booked into the county's main jail where he remained Thursday afternoon with bail set at $790,000, jail records show.
Fegley had not yet been formally charged by prosecutors Thursday. An arraignment was scheduled for Monday afternoon in room 13 of Ventura County Superior Court.
The victim's name was not released pending notification of next of kin.
The sheriff's office is contracted to provide police services in Thousand Oaks. This is the first homicide of the year in the city.
Anyone with information about Wednesday's shooting is asked to call sheriff's Detective Michael Marco 805-384-4739.
