PHILADELPHIA — Police say a Philadelphia man is charged with murder after allegedly shooting a neighbor in a dispute over dog waste.

Authorities say 47-year-old Franklin Manuel Santana was shot and killed in the city's Tacony section Tuesday afternoon after confronting the neighbor about his dogs, a Chihuahua and a German shepherd. Police say the dog owner, 27-year-old Tyrirk Harris, pulled a gun and fired multiple shots, striking Santana twice in the neck.

Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman, says Harris was taken into custody and charged with murder and other counts.

Police say the suspect said he and his neighbor struggled over the gun before it fired. Investigators also say it wasn't the first time the men had quarreled over the dogs.

It was not immediately known if Harris had an attorney.
