Don’t feel too bad. Word amongst the kids is he was buying coke for his girlfriend and tried to rob the dealer. Darwin Award winner.

This is far from the truth. I know the family, went to high school with both the mom and dad and their son was an upstanding kid. Still not sure of the specifics as to why this occurred but whatever it was, it wasn't worth this kids life. Seems like the shooters (and most like them) resort to killing as a first resort rather than just fighting it out like we did back in the day.

I work in the general area and Sugarloaf Mills is about as sketchy as you can get at night. I would stay clear of this area once that sun started going down, nothing good happens over there. The mall operator (Simon) has really let this place go. You have people to go to the mall for Bass Pro Shops and complete opposite set of people that go there for trouble.
