According to Acosta who lives next door, the family was arguing outside the home Saturday night shortly before police were called.

“It was more or less him, he started yelling and screaming,” Acosta said. “That’s when stuff escalated, and then they called the police, and the police showed up in five minutes. I guess it was too late.”

He added: “It really hurts me that they were trying to help his problem, and it didn’t work out.”
