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.’”

Dog who called Maryland shelter home for 7 years finally adopted: “There wasn’t a dry eye in the house”
The SPCA of Anne Arundel County announced that their longest running shelter resident has been adopted. Kylo Jace found his forever home after living at the SPCA of Anne Arundel County for 7 years.
The SPCA said on their Facebook page thar Kylo is a dog who “takes many meetings with someone in order to fully trust them and feel comfortable enough to show his true silly, wonderful personality.”
Over the years, he had specific volunteers and staff who had earned his trust and would take turns walking and caring for him day after day, the shelter said.
Over the course of the past 7 months, the woman who adopted Kylo came to visit him twice a week and slowly, but surely, worked her way into his trusted inner circle.
The team at SPCA even worked to ensure Kylo was comfortable getting into his new owner’s car, doing home visits before the big day. On Sunday, he officially left the building that he has spent the past few years in for the final time.
“There wasn’t a dry eye in the house and we truly are on Cloud 9 knowing he gets to spend the rest of his life loved for exactly who he is!” shelter staff said on social media.
Kylo’s adoption fee was fully paid for in memory of Jim Ehrig, a fan favorite of Kylo’s who passed away.
The SPCA hopes Kylo’s story will encourage more people to take a chance on a shelter dog.

Maryland lawmakers serving in the U.S. Congress expressed their condolences on Sunday after the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
Graham, a Republican, died on Saturday following a “brief and sudden illness,” according to his office. He was 71 years old.
Republican Congressman Andy Harris, who represents Maryland in the House of Representatives, called Stewart a “true leader” and said his “selfless service to his country both in uniform and in Congress is much appreciated.”
“My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, dedicated staff, and the people of South Carolina during this difficult time,” Harris said. “Working with him on budget issues made it clear to me that he was a true leader in the fight to restore fiscal responsibility, and he will be sorely missed.”
Graham died on Saturday evening, shortly after he returned from a trip to Ukraine. He was scheduled to appear on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.
He served in the U.S. House of Representatives, followed by four terms in the U.S. Senate. Before his political career, Graham served in the United States Air Force.
Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who served with Graham in Congress for more than two decades, said that even though the two disagreed on many issues, they had always had “an open line of communication and honest conversation.”
“Whenever possible, we worked together to find common ground, including our joint efforts to support our Syrian Kurdish partners and the SDF, who have been our main allies in the fight against ISIS,” Van Hollen stated. “My heart goes out to Lindsey’s loved ones during this difficult time.”
