VALPARAISO — A 20-year-old South Haven man has been charged with attempted murder on allegations he shot another man early Monday over accusations both men had sex with each other's girlfriends, police said.

Daniel Moro, of the 700 block of Fremont Road, is accused of shooting the other man in the side of the head around 1 a.m. along Creekview Court, west of Ash Street in Portage, according to charging information.

He is also charged with felony counts of aggravated battery and possession of a handgun without a permit, after having a felony conviction within 15 years. Moro was convicted of resisting law enforcement April 10, according to court records.

Witnesses told police Moro and the shooting victim had engaged in a physical fight Sunday. They encountered one another again early Monday because the victim believed Moro had his hat and cellphone.

Moro showed up with his girlfriend in the area on Creekview Court where the victim lived and tried to attack the other man, according to charging information. When Moro was stopped, he allegedly ran to the vehicle he arrived in, pulled out a handgun, and fired four or five rounds at the victim.

The victim had a bullet entrance wound on the left side of his head just in front of his ear and a cut on his nose, police said.
