A Florida man, Javier Medina-Tamayo, was arrested for allegedly breaking into a house and shooting him dead.  Medina-Tamayo, upon leaving the home, shot at, and missed, a neighbor who lives nearby. That neighbor then returned fire, hitting Medina-Tamayo.

Medina-Tamayo was arrested on a charge of attempted first-degree murder for shooting at the neighbor who confronted him; detectives later added a first-degree murder charge, along with charges of home invasion robbery with a firearm and occupied burglary, after linking him to the nearby robbery and homicide.
