Police responded to a call for medical help just before 8:30 a.m. at 101 Highland St. near Honey Farms and found the man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest, Worcester authorities said. Paramedics rushed him to a nearby hospital, but doctors were not able to save him. Officials did not release the man's name. 

Samuel Peckham was charged with assault and battery with a firearm and armed assault to murder, authorities said. He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon. 

Court records said the men had a verbal argument that got out of hand.
