This certainly was no Tupperware party.
A fight over a popular food storage container escalated to an Arizona man shooting his brother, officials said.
Police said John Murillo, 44, fired several shots at his 46-year-old brother, Anthony Murillo, after a heated dispute about the Tupperware-style dish, AZCentral reported.
Anthony Murillo told police that his younger brother stole his plastic container, causing them to fight over text message about the kitchen item.
The older Murillo claimed he returned home and knocked on John’s room to confront him, but his younger sibling shot him through the door, authorities said.
The wounded brother called police and was brought to the hospital in critical condition.
Authorities said John Murillo fled the scene, but was later spotted driving slowly outside the home. He reportedly stopped and asked officers whether his older brother was alright.
“He was banging on my door,” John Murillo allegedly told officers. “I didn’t know what to do.”
Officers arrested and booked the younger brother at Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail, where he is being held on $20,000 bond.
He faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, disorderly conduct and unlawful discharge of a firearm.
