Man killed in shooting outside Adelaide home

A man has been killed in a shooting in Adelaide's northern suburbs.

Residents say they heard people fighting outside a property on Stebonheath Road in Munno Para West, then a gunshot.

Troy Jacka, 53, was found dead by police and paramedics in the driveway about 11pm yesterday.

They say he was killed from a gunshot wound inflicted by a firearm he was holding during a struggle with another man.

It's understood the violence erupted after a disturbance at the property where gun threats had been made.

Police found the gun nearby.

Detectives were seen sweeping surrounding streets for CCTV as they pieced together exactly what unfolded.

Police say a 31-year-old man who lives at the house is assisting with their enquiries.
