CLEVELAND, Texas — Francisco Oropeza was firing his gun in his yard again on Friday night, rattling off loud bangs that were keeping Wilson Garcia’s baby awake.
So Mr. Garcia said he went over to his neighbor and asked if he could stop.
Mr. Oropeza, who the authorities said had been drinking, said no. His yard, he said, his rules.
Mr. Garcia, 30, warned that he would call the police. But after Mr. Oropeza, 38, walked back to his house, he re-emerged with an AR-15.
He walked toward Mr. Garcia’s cream-colored home, where he shot and killed Mr. Garcia’s wife, who had called the police and was standing near the entrance.
