The victim, who spoke to Diario De Sevilla, said: “We had an argument a couple of weeks before he shot at me.”
“I lost my job, and I could not pay the rent. I asked for a little time so he could pay the rent and if not I would leave, because we weren’t comfortable. It was a tiny flat, and we paid a great deal.”

“I heard a loud ‘boom’ and then a very loud buzzing sound,” the victim said. The victim saw that after falling, the suspect was going to fire another shot.
