A Las Vegas man accused of fatally shooting a 9-year-old boy in an adjacent apartment reportedly chanted “Scarface” before firing his gun.
Eliazar Quintero, 41, was in his apartment entertaining two other women when his gun went off on March 7, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
One of the women, who has not been identified, is said to have later told the Metropolitan Police how Quintero came out of his bedroom holding a rifle – and pointed it at the wall saying, “Say hello to my little friend.”
The woman said the gun then went off and Quintero appeared shocked, according to the arrest warrant.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, SirArmani Clark, 9, was sitting on the sofa watching “Spongebob” with her brother, Honor Tate, 6, when the bullet pierced the wall of their living room.
The bullet hit SirArmani in the head, shattering before hitting Honor in the leg.
SirAmani was later taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, while his brother was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Following the shooting, several witnesses said they saw Quintero flee the apartment with multiple firearms.
Friends also told police that Quintero left a gun in their backyard and told them he needed a place to hide.
The Metropolitan Police finally named Quintero as a suspect in the shooting death of SirAmani last month, saying he will now face charges of second-degree murder.
Quintero has previous convictions for possession of a controlled substance and grand theft outside of California and is already in custody on gun and drug convictions, police said. He is currently serving a sentence of two to five years in prison.

Quintero was also supposed to be sentenced on a charge of possession or possession of a firearm by a prohibited person just two days after the shooting, but failed to appear in court, according to records obtained by KLAS.
A judge later reportedly issued a bench warrant for his arrest, and he was taken into custody on March 10.
Quintero has not yet been arraigned on murder charges, and it is unclear whether he has an attorney available to speak on his behalf.
