Two men are now charged in the fatal shooting of a Pascagoula man in his apartment.

The shooting happened around 7:40 Sunday night at an apartment building on Agnes Street. Pascagoula police say they found 68-year-old Claude Bivins Jr. suffering from a gunshot wound.

First responders tried to save him, but were unsuccessful. An autopsy is scheduled for later this week.
