A man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor May 22 had previously threatened to kill him, according to a newly released arrest report.
The threat came after the suspect, Arturo Avila, learned that his ex-wife and the neighbor had had an affair, the Metropolitan Police Department report states.
On May 22, police responded to a mobile home complex on the 3200 block of North Nellis Boulevard after reports of gunshots. They found David Beruman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to University Medical Center, where he died.
An investigation revealed that Avila and Beruman had “had several ongoing arguments since January 2021” because the affair had apparently led to Avila’s divorce, according to the report.
In 2020, Avila called police to the complex because he wanted to file a restraining order against Beruman, an action he hoped would prevent Beruman from seeing the wife, according to the report. Beruman then moved out of his mobile home, where he lived with relatives, because Avila had threatened to kill him, the report said.
On the morning of May 22, Beruman arrived at his family’s mobile home, planning to travel to Arizona with them for the day. Beruman called the police “to report some threats from Avila,” the report states. A responding officer gave Beruman some paperwork and left the scene.
A short time later, Avila approached Beruman holding something covered by a rag, according to the report. Beruman’s son was recording on his cellphone as Avila removed the rag and pulled out a handgun.
He fired about five shots, and Beruman was seen lying on the ground, the report states.
Avila faces one count of murder with a deadly weapon, court records show.
