Pineda's brother, Marco, revealed that the repairman had been called to repair the home's air-conditioning. He doesn't understand why the repairman had a gun, and what led to the violence, since his brother was a famously tranquil and peaceable man.

Pineda was married and had seven children between the ages of 13 and 24. Two of the children, 14 and 15-year-old boys, were home at the time of the incident and may have witnessed the shooting.

The Pineda family mourns the death of a good man, and ask the Police for justice.

The Surprise Police have assured the family that they are fully committed to finding the truth and that the community is not in danger.
