Police say Rodriguez had been staying at Smith’s home on Linton Court for several weeks before the incident.
Police say Rodriguez was found shot several times with a pistol and was pronounced dead at the home.
Smith claimed he acted in self-defense after the two men got into an argument earlier in the day. However, police say interviews and evidence gave police probable cause to arrest Smith on Saturday.
Smith is being held without bond at the Lake County Jail.
