When the victim had arrived home earlier he immediately overheard a family member arguing with her boyfriend in a bedroom in the house. The victim went to the room to see what was going on. As he entered the room the shooter, identified as Antonio Flores, was seen by the victim fleeing out of the bedroom window.
The victim then followed Flores to the garage where he had fled to. He then started confronting Flores about what had happened in the bedroom. Flores then pointed a gun at the victim and fired one shot which hit the victim in the lower leg. After he shot the victim Flores fled the scene.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for his injuries. He is expected to make a full recovery.
