Smith is being held in jail without bond.

Documents said the home of 27-year-old Mario Mireles was hosting a large party with many cars parked on the street. 

Smith's mother called the police to say a car was blocking their driveway.

Mario Mireles went over to the home to argue about the parking complaint. When Smith returned home, according to documents, the argument became physical and Smith pulled out a gun.

During a tussle over the gun, Smith shot Mireles and Segovia.

Documents revealed that Smith then stood over Mireles and shot him several more times.

While partygoers were outside and attempted to render aid to Mireles, Smith went inside and grabbed a rifle before shooting out of a front window of his home, documents said. Nicolas Mireles, who was coming to the aid of his son, was shot and killed.

A woman was shot in her ankle, a man was shot in his arm and another man was shot in his leg and back.

At the scene, officers found a "large amount of ballistic evidence," including handgun cartridge casings and fired rifle cartridge casings.

Two guns were recovered at the scene.

Smith was taken into custody, police said.
