Glendale police arrested a man Wednesday evening on suspicion of fatally shooting his father during an argument.
Officer Moroni Mendez, a department spokesperson, said officers responded to reports of domestic violence at a home near the 4600 block of El Camanito Drive at about 6:30 p.m. Initial reports said that 36-year-old Ruben Longoria shot his father, Richard Longoria, multiple times.
Court documents state that officers nearby heard around seven to eight gunshots. Responding officers found Ruben in his garage where he told officers that he had shot his father.
Richard was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police learned that Richard was visiting his son when the two began arguing. Eventually, Ruben retrieved a gun from his bedroom and shot his father multiple times, police said. Ruben then asked his wife to call the police.
Documents said Ruben’s wife and six children were inside the home when they saw Ruben shoot his father and described their relationship as “toxic.”
