 A report released Monday details how one man's heroism ended in his death and the death of his neighbor's wife Saturday. 
 
 A judge ruled that Placido Moreno-Torres, 47, remain in Lee County Jail with a bond of more than $1 million in the alleged double-homicide. 
 
 Witnesses heard Moreno-Torres and his wife Amparo Moreno, 44, arguing outside their 3511 Ninth St. W. home when then they heard gunshots. 
 
 Ricardo Vaca, 20, a neighbor of the Morenos who was married May 29, was just coming home with his sister and her boyfriend after an early Father's Day celebration when they heard an argument. 
 
 The sister's boyfriend told deputies he saw Moreno-Torres drag Moreno into a garage and watched Moreno clinging to the doorframe of the home. 
 
 Vaca called his father to say "Placido was hitting his wife and that he was going to intervene," according to a Lee County Sheriff's Office report. 
 
 When his father advised him against it, Vaca said he would "just make sure that Amparo was OK and then he would leave." 
 
 He never did. 
 
 Vaca ran over to his neighbor's driveway to help, his sister told deputies. On her way after him, she heard several gunshots. 
 
 When she got on the other side of a red van, she saw her brother and Moreno laying on the driveway.

 She tried to get her brother riddled with gunshots, to his feet, but then Moreno-Torres got out of the van with a silver revolver. 
 
 She froze. 
 
 Moreno-Torres walked up to her and put the barrel of the gun to her forehead. 
 
 She "began to plead for her life at which time she dropped to the ground, rolled down the driveway and ran for safety," the report said. 
 
 The Vacas have had a "substantial relationship" with the couple for 15 years, she told deputies. 
 
 The family loaded Vaca and Moreno into a Cadillac Escalade and tried to get them to a hospital but met with medics at Unice Avenue North and 12th Street West who tried to save the pair. They died at the intersection. 
 
 A medical examiner determined that they were both killed by gunshot during the homicide. 
 
 Deputies found Moreno-Torres on Sunday morning in the backyard of a home near Alabama Road and State Road 82. He had "numerous cuts and abrasions covering his body suggesting he'd been traveling through dense foliage," the report said. 
 
 He told deputies where he'd thrown away the gun and was booked into jail about 4:50 p.m.

– A 20-year-old father-to-be was only trying to break up an argument between his neighbor and neighbor's wife in Lehigh Acres, Fla., on Saturday. Now two of the three are dead and the third is charged with double murder. Authorities say Ricardo Vaca—who was married May 29—returned home from a Father's Day celebration with his sister around 9:30pm and saw his neighbor's wife clinging to a door frame as her husband tried to drag her into the garage, reports the News-Press. Vaca said he wanted to check on 44-year-old Amparo Moreno and ran over to her driveway. Soon after, Vaca's sister heard multiple gunshots and found her brother and Moreno lying riddled with bullets on the driveway, police say. As she tried to help, Placido Moreno-Torres, 47, held a silver revolver to her forehead, according to a police report. She "began to plead for her life, at which time she dropped to the ground, rolled down the driveway, and ran for safety," the report says. When Moreno-Torres took off on foot, "we all got together to see what we can do but we couldn't save any lives," a neighbor tells WPTV. They drove the victims to an intersection, where they met with paramedics, but both were pronounced dead. Moreno-Torres—who was arrested early Sunday with "numerous cuts and abrasions covering his body, suggesting he'd been traveling through dense foliage"—faces two counts of homicide and one count of aggravated assault. Meanwhile, family members are mourning Vaca and the fact that his daughter will grow up without him. "He was an amazing person, always happy and trying to make people smile," a cousin tells the News-Press. "We as a family are devastated." (At least two other Good Samaritans have lost their lives in 2016.)
