The incident happened around 2:13 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Addison Apartments in the 2500 block of Babcock Road.
Police said Anderson, two women and another man -- identified on Monday by the medical examiner’s office as Malcolm Ray Everett II, 26 -- were drinking before an argument broke out.
Moments later the situation escalated, resulting in Anderson pulling a handgun and fatally shooting the Everett in the chest, according to authorities.
After being questioned, Anderson told police he was acting in self-defense, as Everett was “charging” at him and was “trying to fight.” He also claimed he warned Everett to leave him alone or he would shoot, according to SAPD.
As of Sunday afternoon, court records showed Anderson was booked for the murder charge.
