MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A South Florida man is behind bars Monday afternoon after being accused of shooting and killing his mother following an argument.

Police said it happened Sunday at around 4:30 a.m. in the 200 block of SW 56th Terrace in Margate.

On Monday, 28-year-old Alexander Deltoro Jr. appeared in front of Broward Judge Jackie Powell for an initial hearing.

The judge had this to say, "Mr. Deltoro is in an argument with his parents and brings a gun to the argument and we're here today because now his mother is deceased."
