Prior to arriving, officers had received multiple reports of shots being fired, with one reporting that he witnessed his neighbor, Vicente Lara Munoz [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, outside shooting a firearm and that Defendant was intoxicated. While walking around the trailer homes, officers heard two shots being fired from close to a residence.

In response, officers left the area and created a nearby staging point. While at the staging point, officers spoke to L. C. B. M., Witness 1 herein, who reported that her roommate is Defendant. Witness 1 reported that she arrived home from work around 4:00 PM. While making food in the kitchen she observed spent shell casings. Witness 1 reported that she when she was in her bedroom she heard six gun shots, though she initially thought the sounds were a hammering or power tool. Around this time Witness 1 received a phone call from her neighbor to the south, H. H. R. G., Witness 2 herein, who told her that Defendant had been firing a handgun.

Shortly after speaking to Witness 2, Witness 1 heard Defendant inside the residence and heard Defendant fire two shots.

Police later contacted Witness 1 and instructed her to crawl out of her bedroom window and run towards a police officer, which she did. Defendant was taken into custody inside the residence. A search warrant was executed on Defendants residence located on Cleveland St NE. Inside the residence officers located a total of ten (10) spent shell casings from a.357 magnum, as well as one live.357 magnum ammunition on the kitchen floor.
