An investigation is underway in Santa Barbara after a man was shot early Wednesday morning.

Santa Barbara police say a man in his 30s was walking along the 500 block of Chapala Street at about 5 a.m. when he was “verbally confronted” by another man.

A confrontation ensued which resulted in one of the men being shot by the other.

Police say the victim was able to make it to a lobby nearby and get help. The suspect, identified as Terrence Roberson, 34, reportedly took off but was found a short time later on the first block of East Cota Street, according to police.

At the time of his arrest, police say Roberson was still armed.
