A man was fatally shot at his home in San Antonio, Texas, on two weekends back by a neighbor who came over to argue about a noise from a house party, police said.
Edward Trejo, 29, a resident of a home on the 300 block of Cincinnati Avenue in San Antonio was struck multiple times during the heated altercation just after 5.15am on Sunday December 21. 
Trejo was at the holiday party with friends when next door neighbor, Paul Flores, 40, filed a noise complaint, then came over to complain to the party attendees, directly. 
When Flores confronted Trejo and other tenants in the house, an argument ensued between the two men, escalating to a physical altercation that spilled into the front yard and onto the street. However, during the fight, Flores pulled out a gun and shot Trejo multiple times.
