![Maryland grandfather-to-be, 40, dies after fight with neighbor over his dogs running into their yard: ‘He did not deserve that’](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/07/newspress-collage-pyv1cwylw-1720069587328.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&1720055256&w=1024)
A Maryland soon-to-be grandfather died after he was struck in the back of the head when he tried to apologize to his neighbors over his dogs running into their backyard, his heartbroken family claimed.
Marvin Guevara’s dogs escaped his Boyd home through a hole in his fence onto his neighbor’s property on June 14, according to the Montgomery County Police Department.
Guevara, 40, then went to his neighbor’s house to retrieve the dogs and apologize for the inconvenience, his daughter-in-law, Flor Flores, told News4.
The family man had gotten into a “verbal argument” with an unidentified female at the property over his dogs running loose in the neighborhood when things took a violent turn.
Investigators found that the female hit Guevara in the head during the altercation, and he needed to be transported to an area hospital.
A video of the altercation taken by Flores shows the female and an unidentified male arguing with Guevara before the fists started flying, according to News4.
Flores claims that before she started filming, the female neighbor hit her father-in-law in the back of the head.
“She went then and like slapped him on the side of his face and she wanted to hit him again,” Flores told the outlet. “But this is when I grabbed my phone and I recorded. He did not deserve that.”
Two weeks later, on June 30, the beloved community member would be pronounced dead.
Guevara’s body is undergoing an autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore to determine his cause of death.
The county’s Major Crimes Division is also investigating his cause of death.
Guevara’s neighbors — who have not yet been charged with any crime — told the outlet that the soon-to-be grandfather was trespassing on their property but refused to elaborate further.
The two homes in Boyds are about five miles outside Germantown, Md.
While the family waits for answers on how their loved one died, they’re outraged that the situation ever resorted to violence.
“This is just something that didn’t have to happen over some dogs,” Flores told the outlet. “We just want peace from everything. We just want things to get done right.”
Guevara was an active member of his church and was known for his kindness and generosity, his family devastated family told the outlet.
His heartbroken daughter-in-law said what hurts the most is that his first grandchild — a granddaughter who is due next month — will never get to meet her grandfather.
“I was like, ‘You’re going to teach her how to walk,’” Flores said.
“And he said, ‘I’m going to teach her how to ride a horse.’”
