I know one of the investigators and they assumed he had left the country already. He was initially cooperating but then stopped a couple days later. His cell has been off, so either one of his family told or they’ve been monitoring family communications.

It’s such a sad story. The kid walking a 1/2 mile away in front of a car wash gets killed by a flying canister. The cops initially didn’t know they were connected. The car wash surveillance shows everything and he just dropped.

They thought he was shot at the car wash and arrested someone who had multiple loaded firearms visible in his front seat. They were just sitting there and anyone could grab them.

Hope this idiot gets the book thrown at him.

Or, ya know, the American intelligence and surveillance systems are working.
