A North Little Rock man is accused of opening fire during an argument early Tuesday with his brother over rent money, police said.

Quantez Jamal Jordan, 22, was arrested about 12:30 a.m. on a charge of aggravated assault.

According to a North Little Rock Police Department report, Jordan's brother told investigators they were arguing over rent money when Jordan displayed a gun and "told him to get in the street."

When the brother turned his back, he heard a single shot being fired, the report said.

"[The victim] stated he went to his knees stating 'don't kill me,'" police wrote in the report.

Jordan told officers he did fire one round but that it was into the air, according to the report. A gun and a shell casing were recovered at the scene.

Jordan remained in the Pulaski County jail later Tuesday morning with bail not yet set. A Wednesday court appearance is set.
