A 49-year-old man was arrested by Cheyenne Police in connection with the shooting of another man on Imperial Court on Dec. 23 (Saturday), according to a post on the CPD Facebook page.

According to the release, 49-year-old Timothy Leners was visiting 45-year-old Joyce Trout at 5419 Imperial Court at little before 8 p.m. on Saturday. Leners got into an argument with Joyce's husband, 53-year-old Chris Trout, that turned into a physical fight outside the home.
