A teenage boy is behind bars in Ventura County, accused of fatally shooting a man.

Donald Reyes Junior was shot to death just after 3 a.m. Sunday in a motel room on the 1900 block of Solar Drive in Oxnard. Oxnard Police say the 29 year old Newbury Park man died at the scene. 

Detectives say the 17 year old boy arrested for the murder was involved in an argument with the victim just before the shooting. He fled the scene, but investigators found and arrested him Sunday afternoon.

Police are reviewing surveillance camera video from the motel as they try to determine exactly what led to the fatal shooting.
