HOUSTON, TEXAS - A Texas fugitive was arrested more than a month after he allegedly opened fire on his neighbors while they were holding a funeral for their family guinea pig.

John Martin Dixon, 46, was collared on Monday for allegedly shooting 18-year-old Emmanuel Menchaca in the backyard of the victim’s Houston home, putting the teen on a long road to recovery after he nearly died.

Menchaca was in the ICU for 17 days after he was shot while trying to lay his guinea pig to rest, the family’s matriarch told ABC 13.

The shooting took place in the middle of the night on July 17 after Menchaca and Dixon reportedly started to argue, though it’s still not clear what sparked the dispute.

Dixon allegedly pulled the gun on Menchaca and shot him in the torso in front of his younger brother, Evan.

Police responded the night of the shooting and seized Dixon’s gun. They also interviewed his father, and the next day Menchaca positively identified Dixon as the assailant in a photo lineup, according to court documents.
