A Bronx dad was shot dead after telling a neighbor to keep quiet so his family could get some sleep. David Morales was on the phone with his nephew Louie Garcia complaining about the noise, when around 5 a.m. he suddenly went silent. "I heard him trying to breathe over the phone—gasping," said Garcia. "He couldn't talk." He hung up and called back, but instead of Morales a neighbor answered, telling him his uncle had been shot, reports the News. "He felt very cold," said a cousin who rushed to the scene. "It felt like a sponge—it wasn't even stiff. I realized he had taken his last breath." The noisy neighbor and alleged killer—a Panama native and former seaman—fled the scene, but later turned himself in.
