Family of Joe Moreno speaks out about his tragic death and mental health crisis

The tragic story of Joe Moreno, a man killed by his neighbor in Summerlin, has shed light on the struggles of mental health and the devastating consequences that can result. Joe, a loving father and sports enthusiast, was battling bipolar disorder, a condition that had plagued him for years. Despite being on a treatment plan, his family revealed that Joe had recently strayed away from it, leading to a mental health crisis on the night of the shooting.

His neighbor, Eddi Moreno, is accused of fatally shooting Joe after a confrontation outside their homes. Eddi, who has a history of violent behavior, allegedly made threats before firing the fatal shots. Despite facing an open murder charge, Eddi was able to post bail and be released from jail, much to the anger and disbelief of Joe’s family.

The Moreno family is now left to grieve the loss of Joe and struggle to afford the funeral services he deserves. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up by Joe’s sister, Lisa, in hopes of raising enough money to give him a proper burial.

This heartbreaking story serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the devastating impact of untreated mental illness. It also raises questions about the justice system and the value placed on a human life. As the Moreno family seeks justice for Joe, they are left grappling with the pain of their loss and the hope for a better future for those struggling with mental health issues.
