Police say a shooting in Auburn on Monday afternoon was related to a dispute over money related to illegal drug trafficking.

An investigation found that three males arrived at a home on Washington Street N demanding money from the homeowner that was allegedly owed to them from the proceeds of drug trafficking.

Police said two of the three males threatened the homeowner, 19-year-old Steven Beauregard, who fired two shots from inside his home. He struck 20-year-old Kameron Michaud of Augusta, who was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

Police charged 20-year-old Sebastian Barron of Augusta with attempted robbery. He was taken to Androscoggin County Jail with bail set at $2,000.

Beauregard was also taken into custody on an unrelated traffic warrant.

The third male involved in the incident has not been charged.

Police say more charges are expected as the investigation continues.
