SIGN UP Officers then saw Godinez take off his clothes in the backyard and wield a handgun. He eventually put the gun down, got dressed and surrendered without any further incident, police said.
While taking Godinez into custody, officers noticed blood near the front door of the home and then conducted a welfare check, during which they found 56-year-old Luis Adrian Godinez, who had been shot at least once. He was taken to a hospital, where he died shortly afterward.
On Wednesday, police confirmed that the older man was Godinez's father and that the home the shooting took place in was the residence of both men.
