About 8:22 p.m. Saturday, police from the 15th district responded to a parking lot in the 7200 block of Frankford Avenue for a report of a person with a gun.

They found Kevin Twist, 34, from the 3100 block of Wellington Street, suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck. Medics pronounced him dead a few minutes later, according to police.

Stylles Rusling, 28, of the 3200 block of Princeton Avenue, was taken into custody at the scene. He was charged Monday with murder and related offenses.

According to police, the two men argued, and at some point Rusling pulled a gun and fired twice, striking Twist in the neck. A weapon was recovered at the scene, according to police.
