A man is dead after being shot outside of a Mesa bar last week.

According to Mesa police, Daniel Christopher Westberg is accused of shooting John Stewart Jr. outside of the Office Sports Bar near Gilbert and Broadway roads last Monday.

After the shooting, Westberg went inside the bar and asked people to call 911. He allegedly told people that he had shot a person outside, officials said.

The victim was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound to his head, but has since died. 

The suspect was originally charged with aggravated assault but it was later upgraded to second-degree murder. 

It's still unknown why Westberg shot the man.
