It was supposed to be a normal fishing trip, but an argument between two friends in Florida turned deadly after one of them shot and killed the other. 

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrested the 56-year-old suspect, John Skeen. According to investigators, Skeen was arrested on March 12. The shooting allegedly happened on March 10.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called in to respond to a shooting on Manatee Drive just before 10 p.m. and found a man with a gunshot wound to his upper body.

Deputies desperately tried to save the man and rushed him to a hospital. However, he still died despite life-saving measures taken after arriving at the nearby medical facility, according to CBS-12 News.

"What should have been a fun fishing trip filled with great memories, turned into a tragic weekend," Sheriff Chad Chronister noted. "Violence is never the solution to a disagreement. Our hearts are with this victim's family and we hope this arrest will bring some sense of closure to the loved ones."

Ice Cream Man Murder Trial Rocks Ruskin in Florida

The murder case happened a few days after Ruskin in Florida was in the middle of a high-profile murder trial surrounding a mass shooting done by ice cream man Michael Keetley, who wanted revenge after he was shot and robbed inside his own ice cream truck.

According to Tampa Bay Times, the latest hearing on the "ice cream man murder trial" happened on Thursday, with Keetley being accused of shooting six men. He allegedly killed two of them in 2010 on the front porch of a home on Ocean Mist Court in Ruskin.

The Florida man was reportedly left disabled from being robbed and was angry at the robbers. He reportedly always has a gun, particularly a .45 caliber Glock handgun. Investigators believe this type of firearm was later used to commit the murders. However, no actual weapon was found. The suspect also has two other guns, a .380 and a .22-caliber, which he usually keeps near the driver's seat of his ice cream truck.

Keetley was reportedly obsessed with finding his attackers that he even tried to interrogate a little girl.
