TMZ Sports has acquired the audio from the 911 call made by a woman at the home of Joe Torrez. Torrez and his family were attacked by four intruders in what is suspected to have been a gang related incident. Torrez, a professional lightweight fighter was able to hold off the attackers, killing one of them in the process. Here is a brief summary of the call via TMZ Sports:

The call was made by a woman in Joe’s home — and she tells the dispatcher a “car full of people” arrived to their New Mexico house on January 1 with violent intentions.

The caller says the intruders were breaking windows and attacking Joe while children were hiding in a back room.

The caller says one of the invaders was trying to attack Joe with a knife.

After Joe fought off the intruders, the caller tells the dispatcher, “There’s a guy in here laying on the floor … he’s an enemy obviously … he’s laying on the floor.”

Currently Torrez is preparing his legal defense in the home invasion case. He has yet to be charged with a crime, but has not been cleared of charges either. His defense attorney has advised him to stop speaking with officers at this time.
