Were these students or more low income types that had moved in to old student housing? Southwood Valley seems to have this type of thing happen more often than it should.

Students. Good kid of a local family that are good people, to my understanding. Sad deal.

Police say an initial investigation has led them to believe the shooting was not a random incident
Not sure I can fully grasp this statement.

At least they caught someone associated with the incident, hopefully the dominoes will begin to fall and justice will be served.

I was out of town when this happened and I'm saddened to see it. The victim's family has lived in the community at least 25-30 years and is fairly well known around town.

Trust that the statement is correct. This case is very much still under investigation. Only so much can be released so as to not taint the investigation. In a perfect world, names/mugshots wouldn't be released until all were in custody, but probable cause statements are public record, and local media tend to do as they please.

Did the victim live in the home, or was he just visiting?

Guess it's not a rumor now anymore lol. For real though, why else would you rob someone in the middle of the day in that area for? Random robbery? Please....

This wasn't a couple of meth heads breaking into someone's shed. Getaway driver? Weapons? It was either drugs or cash and, considering this was a kid and not a convenience store or nail salon owner, large amounts of cash can be ruled out.

If there's "felony amount of drugs", you can be sure there's a good amount of cash to go along with it

It doesn't take much to catch a felony charge does it? Seems over stated to me.

I guess state run media is just deleting posts now. They can delete all they want but it was still read.

By the way, since my original post was deleted, I'll repeat this:

Don't do/sell drugs, kids.

These types of things rarely happen to good people. Talk to your kids about the dangers of drugs and don't bury your head in the sand, even if you're a "good family".

Why if you assume they buried their head in the sand? Why don't you believe they did everything possible to try to save their kid?

Perhaps the family didn't know. It's not that hard to believe.

My oldest brother smoked and sold mary jane in college.....no one in the family knew until he confessed years later. Never got caught. Anybody that knows my family would describe us as a Good Family. A few years back, the daughter of a DEA agent was caught dealing drugs. Once your kid is out of site, you have no idea what he/she is doing. Raise them the best you can, teach them right from wrong.....and hope for the best.

I don't believe he is making assumptions or speaking to the family of this particular victim, but to everyone in general. Most parents don't know EVERYTHING their child does and some can and do miss or ignore signs of a problem.

Yep. Speaking in general.

It's alarming how many parents of so called "good kids" have no idea what their children are illegally involved with. Coming from a recent grad, the amount of kids buying drugs with their parents money is crazy.

I happened upon his grave recently. I never met him. But his father has been a friend to my family. RIP.
