A fight over a pool table ended with one man dead after being punched in the jaw, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.

The victim was identified as 40-year-old Adnan Anwar of Metairie. The man deputies say struck Anwar - Aaron Ullrich - was charged with one count of manslaughter.

According to investigators, Anwar and Todd Garvin, 46, were arguing about the availability of a pool table when Ullrich, a friend of Garvin's walked over and punched Anwar in the jaw, knocking him to the floor.
