A man has been charged with murder after a fatal shooting in Brisbane's east.
Police said the 25-year-old Underwood man handed himself in to the Brisbane City Watchhouse about 11.30pm on Thursday with a loaded, sawn-off shotgun down the front of his pants after a seven-and-a-half hour manhunt.
Police Inspector Daniel Bragg alleged the "somewhat agitated" man pushed the intercom button at the back of the building and told the watchhouse keeper he wanted to surrender.
"He also indicated to the watchhouse keeper that he had a loaded sawn-off shotgun inside his pants," Inspector Bragg said.
Emergency crews were called to Dialba Crescent at Tingalpa just before 4pm after reports a neighbour heard a gunshot from a nearby address.
Les Brooks, a 32-year-old from Wynnum, died after being rushed to hospital in a critical condition with a gunshot wound to the stomach.

Police Inspector Daniel Bragg praised two railway squad officers who made the arrest.
"The actions of these two officers were extremely heroic given it unfolded within seconds," he told reporters.
"And they immediately raced to the scene knowing full well that this male was handing himself in for quite serious offences and had a loaded firearm down the front of his pants."
Social media tributes to Mr Brooks, said to be a gym junkie and father of three children, were pouring in within hours of his death.
"RIP Les Brooks u were a dead set champion," one man posted.
"I loved our chats in the gym and u will never be forgotten brother.
"The Angels above will be with u now and take care off (sic) the G unit."
Others shared photos or simply their shock at their friend's death.
