Just after midnight Monday morning, officers responded to West Wanda Drive for reports of gunshots earlier in the evening. Mare's was shot and killed after he "pointed an object" at police.

Neighbors from the surrounding area say that Mares was taking part in a big family barbeque late Sunday night and that shots were heard from that event, leading to the call for police assistance.

Neighbor Victor Torres reportedly heard several gunshots and assumed people had too much to drink at the barbeque and got "a little to rowdy." The true motives for the shootout are still unclear.
