A family visit in Glendale ended in a fatal domestic confrontation for Richard Arnold Longoria Jr., 54. On the evening of Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Richard was visiting and staying with his son near 43rd and Northern avenues when repeated arguments with his 36-year-old son, Ruben Richard Longoria, escalated into a physical fight. Ruben then retrieved a handgun from his bedroom and shot his father multiple times.

First responders transported Richard to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Ruben remained at the scene, was detained by Glendale Police, and later arrested on charges of first-degree murder and misconduct involving weapons; a 2007 conviction is said to have legally prohibited him from owning a firearm. Does anyone have information about the events that led up to that night or the family’s situation beforehand?
