In the middle of the party, Moreno approached and menacingly demanded that they turn down the music, to which he received a negative response. Faced with this situation, Moreno drew his weapon, displayed it, and began to intimidate the victim, who became enraged: "You're a cool guy. Don't you pull iron on me. Who do you think you are?". It was just seconds later when the retiree pulled the trigger and shot Díaz in the abdomen, causing his death minutes later. The retired Federal Police officer who killed the neighbor who refused to turn down the music during the Christmas celebration in the Buenos Aires locality of Lomas del Mirador was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. This is Rafael Moreno, 75, who on December 25, 2024, murdered Sergio David Díaz, 40, a bus driver, after a popular jury found him criminally responsible for the crimes of simple homicide and illegal carrying of weapons, as reported by defender Francisco Oneto to the Noticias Argentinas Agency. The Oral Criminal Court (TOC) No. 2 of La Matanza, made up of Judge Lucila Pacheco, ruled the disqualification for a period of 10 years for the possession of firearms, while dismissing the request of the culprit's lawyers for him to be granted house arrest. Prosecutor Sergio Antín had requested that Moreno be sentenced for "homicide aggravated by the use of a firearm." Díaz was with his friends and family on the sidewalk of his house listening to music and drinking alcohol.
