The 77-year-old man, named Domingo Faustino Verna, was captured by authorities and later released. However, he will continue his process as accused of homicide.
The victim, Brian Verna, was 29 years old. After what happened, the authorities arrived at the scene and found that Verna had already died. When searching the house, the police found more weapons in the house, among them a 32-caliber revolver.
“Taking into account the penalty provided by law for this crime and the advanced age of the accused, his freedom was ordered,” explained the Public Prosecutor’s Office, to the surprise of some at the release of the perpetrator.

How it happened?
From now on, Verna’s defense is alleging that Domingo acted in self-defense against his grandson’s attacks. In the video, Brian and his grandfather can be seen having a physical and violent dispute in the entrance of the house.
In the first minutes, Brian arrived with a stick in his hand and passed the fence while cornering Domingo and hitting him with the object he was carrying. A woman ran towards the two men to try to separate them and pulled Brian out of the room.
The camera shows that five minutes later the young man returns to the house. Grandpa is already inside so Brian kicks the doors indicating that he wants to enter violently. Finally Domingo opens the lock and shoots at the grandson.
The victim received five shots in the abdomen, chest, neck, cheek and shoulder. The Prosecutor’s Office charged Domingo with the crime of homicide qualified by the link and for being committed with a firearm after exceeding self-defensewhich the authorities accept that he exercised.
