The boyfriend said that the night prior to the incident, he had woken up to a flashlight in his face and saw Arrieta-Alvardo pushing his girlfriend to the ground. The boyfriend said he confronted Arrieta-Alvardo, which is when Arrieta-Alvardo allegedly punched him before then running away. 

Arrieta-Alvardo allegedly then moved to the back sliding door and began banging on the glass. The couple said they then heard what they believed to be a gunshot, and Arrieta-Alvardo again proceeded to enter the house. 

The couple called the police, and Arrieta-Alvardo fled from the scene.

Although the woman said Arrieta-Alvardo was on the lease, she said they do not live together and had separated in February.
