Maryland grandfather-to-be, 40, dies after fight with neighbor over his dogs running into their yard: ‘He did not deserve that’
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.’”
MSU football video analysis on Jonathan Smith’s future, Maryland win
Lansing State Journal columnist Graham Couch and Detroit Free Press beat writer Chris Solari discuss Jonathan Smith’s future after MSU beats Maryland.
Free Press sports writer Chris Solari rates Michigan State football on a scale of A to F after the Spartans’ 38-28 win over Maryland on Saturday, Nov. 29, at Ford Field in Detroit.
Offense: B
While there were drives that stalled and sputtered, MSU played one of its most complete games under coach Jonathan Smith, relative to the competition. The offensive line – on to its nation-high seventh different starting group and 11th new starter – delivered a sack-free performance for the first time in two seasons against an FBS opponent under position coach Jim Michalczik, and the program’s first game without a sack allowe since Nov. 18, 2023, at Indiana. That allowed quarterback Alessio Milivojevic to throw for 292 yards and a career-best four touchdowns, spreading the ball to eight different receivers. And it allowed the Spartans’ running backs to pick up 161 yards combined as holes opened all game.
Defense: C
MSU needed to steady the ship once the Terps turned to quarterback Malik Washington to throw and throw and throw some more, 61 passes in Maryland’s 77 offensive plays. The freshman delivered with 459 passing yards, much of it coming over the middle to exploit season-long coverage issues there, as the Spartans bent time and again. But when a big play was needed most, junior captain Jordan Hall delivered two big ones – hitting Washington on a third-down throw and then combining with cornerback Aydan West for a sack to force a turnover on downs the next play. Defensive back Aveon Grose, making his first start as a Spartan, sealed it with an interception after that. But MSU was abysmal on third down before then, allowing the Terps to go 9-for-16.
Special teams: A
That A stands for Alante Brown. After missing nine games with a broken foot, the sixth-year senior kick returner touched the ball once in his final game – and returned a third-quarter kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown in his last touch as a college player. Punter Ryan Eckley continued his strong season by pinning Maryland inside the 20 on four of his five punts and averaged 47.6 yards, while kicker Martin Connington delivered a short field goal. And after coverage busts a week earlier at Iowa proved costly, the Spartans shored things up to prevent any Saturday.
Coaching: B
MSU could have packed it in weeks ago, but Smith and his staff continued to maximize the fight internally and finally got a win to end an eight-game losing streak. Offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren dialed up a strong plan to keep Milivojevic moving the chains and away from pressure. Defensive coordinator Joe Rossi’s group found enough moxie in the fourth quarter to finally stop the Terrapins. And Smith remained true to himself while showing a bit of a gambler, going for it on fourth-and-7 at the Terps’ 10 after the 2-minute timeout and coming out with a touchdown that put the game away.

The Michigan State Spartans have gone through a rollercoaster of emotions this season, and there have been bright spots accompanied by dark places almost every week.
Unfortunately for the team, though, there has been one unit that has consistently underperformed and let the team down every week, that being the offensive line.
They may have lost one of their starters in Luka Vincic at the beginning of the season, but they still have had plenty of room to prove that they are a capable unit, full of young talent and veterans alike.
So, with only one game left in the season against the Maryland Terapins, what will it take for the offensive line to prove that they can be good for next season and be reliable for freshman quarterback Alessio Milivojevic?
Allow Two Or Less Sacks
Make Room For The Running Backs To Do Their Job
Thrive Without The Tight Ends
MSU’s offensive line is on its last chance to prove itself to be a capable unit and not allow an immense amount of sacks, but if it can, then Spartan fans might have more to hope for come next year.
