An angry husband appears to have been captured on film shooting his neighbour in broad daylight after accusing him of looking at his wife.

Filmed from a window or balcony above the street where the two men are arguing, the 45 second clip shows the shooter, with dark hair and wearing a brown t-shirt, shouting and gesticulating at his victim, who has a denim jacket on.

The video was posted on social media sites in Mexico, where the row took place, before being picked up by the country’s media.

The men, said to be from the municipality of Chimalhuacán, State of Mexico, in Mexico, reportedly have a history of disagreeing with one another.

After the victim is accused of looking at the other man’s wife he questions why he would do that when he has a wife of his own.

When the shooter pulls a gun from is pocket the second man says: “Do you think I’m afraid of you? Do you think that because you come with a pistol? No, you do not scare me.”

The argument comes to an abrupt and shocking end when the man in the brown t-shirt raises the gun and fires towards his love rival.

The camera then follows the shooter as he walks away.
