But the 0.45 caliber weapon discharged - and he was hit in the temple by the bullet.

Neighbors heard the gunshot and called cops.Officers arrived to find him still alive, but they lost a battle to save him - and he was declared dead at the scene soon after.

A Ministry of Public Security spokesman told Excelsior that Aguilar's death appeared to be an accident.

An autopsy will take place this week.
