Newly-wed Neighbor who tried to stop arguing couple is shot dead

A newly wed man in Florida, USA, has been shot
dead after trying to intervene in an argument
between a man and his wife. According to
police, a man shot his own wife and neighbor
who just wed recently, after he tried to intervene
in an argument between the couple.

Lee County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 47-year-
old Placido Moreno-Torres late Saturday
following a shooting at his home near Fort
Myers.

Neighbors told investigators they heard Moreno-
Torres arguing with his wife around 9:25 p.m.

The News-Press reports 20-year-old Ricardo
Vaca heard his neighbors arguing and went to
their driveway to “intercede.” The sheriff’s report
said Vaca’s concern appeared to be his only
involvement.

Investigators said Moreno-Torres fatally shot
Vaca and 44-year-old Amparo Moreno before
running from the scene. Vaca married on the
29th of May and was expecting a baby with his
wife.
