A family outing to see Santa ended in tragedy on November 25, 2024, when 28-year-old Luis Cosme Jimenez-Hunter was shot and killed at about 8 p.m. at a residence in Avondale near Broadway Road and Avondale Boulevard. The shooting followed a heated argument after Jimenez-Hunter confronted his 26-year-old brother-in-law, Socorro Christian Tena, about a persistently barking dog.

Jimenez-Hunter’s wife was holding their child during the incident. Emergency personnel pronounced Jimenez-Hunter dead at the scene. Tena allegedly hid the firearm in a closet before officers arrived, later told investigators he thought he was about to be physically assaulted and claimed self-defense, and was arrested and booked on multiple felony counts including second-degree murder, disorderly conduct with a firearm, and discharging a firearm within city limits; bond was set at $750,000. A GoFundMe was started to help his wife and two daughters.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who heard or saw anything that night who can help clarify what happened?
