A Lake Charles man has been charged with battery after shooting another man through a door after an argument.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kayla Vincent said the shooting occurred at 7529 Snapper Lane.

Vincent said the victim and Phoenix J. Grindol, 25, who lived at the home, were arguing when the victim began beating on the door of the home while Grindol was inside. Grindol then shot the victim through the door.

Deputies were told the victim had left the scene prior to their arrival. A short time later deputies learned the victim was located at a local hospital, suffering from a gunshot wound.

After further investigation Grindol was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center and charged with aggravated second- degree battery.  His bond is still pending. 

The victim is listed in stable, but serious condition.
