Complete details aren’t yet known, but two men and one woman were home at the time. During the dispute, one man was stabbed. While he and the woman escaped, the other man holed up in the garage and the garage caught on fire or was set on fire. Firefighters were not able to save the man in the garage and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Neighbors say the family has lived in the home for more than 30 years.
