ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police say two roommates terrorized their upstairs neighbors—by shooting into an apartment and assaulting the family at gunpoint—over a noise dispute.

Police arrested 22-year-old Daniel Espinoza and Benjamin Vigil, 24, early Wednesday. Espinoza is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, shooting at a dwelling and child abuse. Vigil is charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Espinoza shot into his ceiling and fought with a father and son, before Vigil held the family at gunpoint, according to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court.

Officers were dispatched to the dispute at the complex, near Coors and Ellison NW, around 12:30 a.m.

A father told police he, his son and 4-year-old grandson were in the apartment when they heard several gunshots and a banging at the door.

When his son answered the door, police say Espinoza punched him and knocked him down. The father fought with Espinoza before Vigil showed up and put a gun to the his head.

Police say both men then fled the scene. They found Vigil at the nearby Albuquerque Transit Center.
