Phoenix police officers responded to a 911 call placed by Alvarez at approximately 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Alvarez informed dispatchers that he had shot his stepfather. Upon arrival, officers found Moreno with multiple gunshot wounds in the backyard.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by local media, the internet service was accidentally cut off while a new installation was underway. Family members, aware that Alvarez would be upset, contacted Moreno to address the situation.
