Serious/ Man kills neighbor after a fight over a water valve

A dispute between neighbors turned deadly after one man pulled out a gun and fatally shot the other. The fight started over a dispute over a shared water valve.

Surveillance footage shows two couples in Escazú, Costa Rica, getting into a heated argument that took a dramatic turn.

Video from the incident on Monday shows the couple shouting across their neighboring properties in the Río Palma condominium complex, before the confrontation moved to the front yard.

One of the neighbors, Otoniel Orozco Mendoza, escalated the verbal fight into physical violence, punching his neighbor Eduardo Ramírez Zamora.

In retaliation, Zamora pulled out his gun and opened fire on Mendoza, shooting at least nine times. The victim died at the scene.

The victim's wife is seen screaming and running as the shooting continued, while Zamora's wife tried to pull her back to stop her husband from continuing to fire the gun as they fled the scene.

Zamora was arrested after the incident and will spend three months in custody.

The relatives of the deceased declared for the Costa Rican media that there had been conflicts between Zamora and Mendoza for a long time.

"Before this man committed that atrocity, my sister had reported him several times, but the authorities never did anything," said Dayli Avendaño, to CR Hoy media.
