A frequent customer who was asked to leave a northeast Harris County restaurant after making advances toward a female employee has been charged with murder for fatally shooting the night manager, the Sheriff's Office reported today. Witnesses told investigators that Michael Hare shot and killed Louis Monroy about 11:20 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of the Chili's restaurant at 9350 North Sam Houston Parkway East, sheriff's officials said. Hare, who often came to the restaurant, was aked to leave after a female employee told him that his advances were not welcome, witnesses told officers. Investigators said Hare left the restaurant, but later approached Monroy and shot him as he walked the woman to her car. Police said Hare drove away after the shooting, but returned about 20 minutes later and was arrested. Investigators said he had a gun. www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5907156.html

Evidently Justice got served in this case. Mother of slain Edmonton man relieved by death of suspectLast Updated: Thursday, July 31, 2008 | 12:25 PM ET Comments20Recommend27CBC News The mother of an Edmonton man who was stabbed to death nine years ago said Wednesday that she finally feels she can be at peace now that the man suspected in her son's death has been slain. "Justice has been served by putting him down,” Giavanna Kostiw said Wednesday. “You know, you live by the sword, you die by it. It's over. I don't have to worry that maybe he'll kill someone else.” Hung Van Bui was charged with first-degree murder in the 1999 stabbing death of Andrew Allen, 35, but the charge was stayed the next year for lack of evidence. This week Bui, 27, died in a hail of bullets as he drove his car in Vancouver, a shooting that police describe as a targeted hit. In June 1999, Kostiw's son worked as a courier with UPS and was making his last delivery of the day to the Ottewell Curling Club in Edmonton when he got into a dispute with another driver. Kostiw said police told her that Bui stabbed her son in the stomach with a kitchen knife. Bui’s lawyer at the time, Sid Tarrabain, said Wednesday that there was no evidence connecting Bui to the crime. "The Crown had virtually no case against him. I haven’t seen him in years. I heard from him from time to time, and it’s really unfortunate,” Tarrabain said of Bui's death. Vancouver police said they believe Bui's death was a drug-related gang hit, and said he was known to them. In fact, Bui was shot at six times just last month, police said. They have no suspects in the case so far. Kostiw said she’s relieved Bui’s life is over. "I hope he burns in the hottest part of hell for all the life he has led, and for all the people that he has hurt," she said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada after all. We don't get murders every week, not that we'd want them at all. Gang members dead, I'm not going to cry over. Good Riddance.

Charges against Mounds View murder suspect allege he fought with girlfriend before stabbing her and two relatives
By Brady Gervais bgervais@pioneerpress.com Article Last Updated: 10/29/2008 11:55:51 PM CDT
The deaths were brutal. His conscience was eating at him.
A criminal complaint filed in Ramsey County on Wednesday offers the first details into the horrific killings of three Mounds View women and a glimpse at what Johnny Lee Ellis Jr. was thinking before his arrest. He grew increasingly agitated before he told an acquaintance Monday that he had stabbed his girlfriend over an argument.
The Ramsey County attorney's office charged him Wednesday with three counts of second-degree murder for his alleged role in the slayings. Ellis, 38, is accused of killing his girlfriend, Angela Vigen; her mother, Jolyn Vigen; and her sister Jennifer Vigen, who neighbors said had Down syndrome.
Jolyn Vigen, 75, suffered 13 stab wounds to the face, neck and shoulder area, the complaint said. Jennifer Vigen, 35, had 22 stab wounds to the face, neck and upper back area. Both bodies were found in a bedroom.
Angela Vigen, 40, whose body was found behind a locked door in the basement, suffered multiple sharp-force injuries to her head and a fracture. A 2-inch portion of a knife was found in her brain. A hammer with apparent blood was found next to her body.
The complaint does not say what the argument between Ellis and Angela Vigen was about.
Police discovered the bodies Monday afternoon. A relative asked police to check on the family at their home at 5108 Sunnyside Road after she was unable to contact anyone there since Oct. 23. Their bodies were beginning to decompose.
Bloody shoeprints were found at the home.
Ellis grew increasingly bothered Monday night at a Minneapolis apartment where he was visiting a friend and his friend's sister. About 5 p.m., when a television report aired about the homicides in Mounds View, Ellis showed his driver's license to the sister, the complaint said. It contained the same address where the homicides occurred.
Ellis told the woman, who is not identified by name in the complaint, to write for him: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." He said he had stabbed his girlfriend, the complaint said. He also told the woman that Angela Vigen had a mother and that he "couldn't leave a witness."
Later, Minneapolis police were dispatched to the apartment at 3001 Third St. N. after a 911 hang-up call. When a dispatcher called back, the unidentified woman said Ellis was holding a knife to his chest, according to the complaint. Ellis took the phone and told the dispatcher he had committed a crime and wanted to turn himself in to authorities. He also said he "had done something bad in Mounds View."
While police attempted to subdue Ellis, he stabbed himself.
Police found a credit card belonging to Angela Vigen at the apartment, as well as her car in the parking lot.

This happened two doors down from where I live ... Two women, one man arrested in Cape Coral on murder chargesThe charges involve the death of Raymond Pratt, 71, whose body was found in an apartment late Tuesday afternoon. Carl Edward Smith, 40; (DOB: 10/12/1968) was charged with second degree murder, said police spokeswoman Connie Barron. Jennifer Lee Simundson, 32 and and Tyana Jean Kershaw, 41, were charged with second degree murder accessory after the fact, Barron said. She said police received a 9-1-1 call at 4:17 p.m. on November 4 from the landlord of an apartment at 5235 Coronado Parkway #2. The landlord had gone to the apartment to make a repair. When no one answered, he entered the apartment and found Pratt laying facedown in a pool of blood, Barron said. Pratt was an acquaintance of the tenant of the apartment, and he began staying at the apartment a few weeks earlier. Pratt also was an amputee with a prosthetic leg.

Five teenagers, including four high school students, are accused of beating a Baytown teen to death, mistakenly blaming him for breaking the windows of one of their cars, police said.
The five used the lid of a barbecue grill and a pistol when they attacked 18-year-old Kevin Jerome Powell early Monday morning, said Baytown police spokesman Lt. Eric Freed. Investigators would find no evidence that Powell vandalized the damaged car, a 1995 Buick Roadmaster, Freed said.
Arrested later that day and charged with murder were La Porte residents Marcus Jason, 18, a student at Dewalt Alternative School; Joshua Rider, 19; Joshua Ashford, 17, an 11th-grader at La Porte High School who owned the Buick; Charles Merritt, 18, who also attends La Porte High; and Cedrick Fears, 17, a Baytown resident who attends High Point High School.
Powell was visiting a friend at the Autumn Ridge apartment, 501 Massey Tompkins, late Sunday, the same time the five were visiting a friend at the same complex, Freed said. Powell’s body was found at a neighboring complex — Tompkins Green Apartments at 605 Massey Tompkins.
A resident there saw the body about 7 a.m. Monday between a hedge and a parked truck. Police said they believe he was killed hours earlier.
Freed said he didn’t know how the teens crossed paths. He speculated that Powell could have been with a large group, and he could have been chased.
“That’s the big question,” Freed said.
Commotion in progress Officers had been dispatched to the Autumn Ridge complex around midnight Sunday for a disturbance, where they found the severely damaged Buick.
Police were dispatched again at 12:45 a.m. for shots being fired. One minute later, another call was reported — an assault in progress.
Residents of the Tompkins Green Apartments said they reported hearing a commotion early Sunday morning and saw a man being chased by a group of men, one of whom was carrying a pistol.
When police arrived, Freed said, they detained a group of young men running from the complex. One of those detained, Freed said, owned the Buick and told authorities that the group heard a commotion and then found the vehicle damaged. The teens were subsequently released.
After Powell’s body was discovered, the teens were brought in for questioning. Freed said each of the five gave statements to police, saying they took turns assaulting Powell.
The five are in the Harris County Jail, with bail set at $100,000 each. If convicted, each faces five years to life in prison for the first-degree felony. None had an attorney of record late Wednesday.

Three people are dead near Lufkin after an apparent double murder-suicide.
Investigators believe 45-year-old Rickey Mullin, of Lufkin, shot and killed his estranged wife and her mother before turning the gun on himself. Authorities found the bodies of 35-year-old Margaret Renee Mullin and her mother, 58-year-old Brenda Sue Mayo Alderman in a van and Rickey Mullin’s body in the yard of his home just outside Lufkin Saturday morning. The women lived in Nacogdoches.
Renee Mullin had filed for divorce in November.

Rodriguez says there were reports of shots being fired into a van. He says the cab of the van was destroyed.
Autopsies have been ordered.

THE PINA CASE Victim’s dad: ‘It’s my baby girl’ Houston Chronicle Feb. 24, 2009, 7:47AM COMING TOGETHER: Edward Pina, in striped shirt, is comforted by loved ones before a vigil for his wife, Sabrina, at Christ the Good Shepherd Church on Monday, the day her remains were identified.When Sabrina Pina’s family learned Monday that a body found in a northwest Harris County ditch had been identified as hers, the woman’s father sent out a heartbreaking text message to close friends. “It’s my baby girl,” Rolando Tolentino of Spring wrote in the message, which was sent to friends’ cell phones at 2:23 p.m. Sheriff’s homicide investigators and Harris County medical examiner’s officials have not yet released how Pina, 27, was killed, but her death has been ruled a homicide. It was not clear Monday night if her family had been told how she died. Pina is believed to have been abducted Saturday afternoon after going to a Kohl’s department store at Texas 249 and Spring Cypress. The Tomball woman’s truck was later found in the store’s parking lot with purchases she made earlier that day still in her vehicle, friends said. Pina’s clothed body was found about 7 a.m. Sunday in a ditch at Jack Road and Warren Ranch Road, a rural area near Hockley about 23 miles from the store. Nearly 250 people gathered Monday evening at a vigil at Christ the Good Shepherd, Pina’s childhood church, to remember a woman described as bright, loving and kind. As the service began, a woman’s sobs echoed through the sanctuary. Pina’s husband, Edward, sat in the front row between his wife’s parents and his own mother. He bowed his head and clutched the front of the pew with both hands as he wept quietly. The scent of incense filled the room as prayers were read and hymns were sung. Tears rolled down somber faces in the crowd. Pina’s father spoke to the crowd toward the end of the service. “Our hearts are ripped open and we can barely breathe,” he said as his voice cracked. “With every text message I receive every 15 seconds and phone call every three minutes and with every hug, you are stitching back our hearts.” Law enforcement officials said it is too soon to say whether Pina’s abduction is connected to the Feb. 2 kidnapping of Susana de Jesus, a 37-year-old Houston woman taken at gunpoint from a Pearland shopping center, also located in a suburban area near a major freeway. De Jesus has never been found. Brazoria County sheriff’s detectives who are investigating De Jesus’ disappearance have been in touch with the Harris County sheriff’s homicide investigators working Pina’s case. There was not enough information to compare the crimes Monday, but both agencies will discuss the two cases in the future, said Brazoria County sheriff’s Capt. Chris Kincheloe. Pina was running errands Saturday when she called her husband from Home Depot around noon to ask what kind of garbage disposal to buy. She was last seen at a Sonic at 1:30 p.m., where she was captured on video by a surveillance camera, said Jeffrey Armenta, a close friend of Pina’s. She is believed to have vanished between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Her vehicle was found at the Kohl’s store parking lot at 22529 Tomball Parkway, also known as Texas 249. Harris County sheriff’s homicide investigators did not respond to repeated requests for information on the case Monday. Pina’s friends pleaded with anyone who saw anything suspicious to call homicide detectives at 713-967-5810 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS. “She was funny, she was powerful. She’s very much missed,” said Jeffrey Armenta’s wife, Tatiana Armenta, who described herself at Pina’s best friend. The two women graduated together from Klein High School in 2000. “We were actually dreading that we were old enough to be going to our 10-year (high school) reunion,” Armenta said. Pina went on to graduate from the University of Texas and was working for TXU Energy’s marketing department at the time of her disappearance. She and her husband married in October 2006. They have no children. Customers outside the Kohl’s store where Pina’s truck was found said Monday that they are frightened by the disappearances of two women from suburban shopping centers in the same month. “I’m very scared,” said Ana Cabrera, 56, who lives in the Spring Cypress area. “I see it as a similar case.” “I always walk outside with my keys ready, and I pay attention,” Bauman said. “I’m always paranoid ... It could happen to any one of us.”

Detectives: Suspect and Spring woman knew each other Houston Chronicle Feb. 25, 2009, 7:50AM Sabrina Pina: The 27-year-old was remembered by friends for her “lovely smile.”Authorities this morning charged a 27-year-old man with capital murder in the slaying of Sabrina Pina, whose body was found in a northwest Harris County ditch on Sunday after she disappeared from a shopping center. Theodore Charles Schmidt was ordered held in the County Jail without bail after being charged with killing Pina, 27. The charge came after Harris County sheriff’s deputies spent hours questioning the man. “This is not a stranger case — they’d known each other for years,” said Lt. Rolf Nelson of the sheriff’s Homicide Division. He did not elaborate on their relationship. Schmidt was taken into custody about 7 p.m. at the Carrington Place Apartments in northwest Houston and gave investigators a statement about the slaying, Nelson added. A close friend and co-worker of Pina's, Tatiana Armenta, said this morning that she was relieved to learn of the arrest. But, she added, "I don't know what to think." Armenta said she vaguely recalls Schmidt's name, but does not remember where she heard it. She said she doesn't remember Pina ever mentioning it. "I don't know who he is. I haven't heard anything about him," Armenta said. She had not yet spoken with Pina's family about the arrest. "They're having a very tough day," she said. Pina was found shot to death Sunday morning. She was last seen alive Saturday afternoon outside a Kohl’s department store at Texas 249 and Spring Cypress, about 23 miles away. Investigators said they think she was abducted there. Detectives examined surveillance video for clues, but homicide Sgt. Wayne Kuhlman would not say whether the store’s surveillance equipment captured anything suspicious. “We have her (Pina) on surveillance camera, but I don’t want to go into any more detail,” Kuhlman said. He also said Pina’s purse has not been recovered. Detectives are checking her cell phone records to see if a call was placed after her disappearance. There is no evidence that her bank or credit cards have been used since Saturday, officials said. After meeting her husband at a Starbucks about 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Pina spent several hours shopping at stores along the 22500 to 28000 block of Texas 249. Her last stop was at the Kohl’s store, detectives said. “We’re confident that around 2 p.m., something happened out there in that Kohl’s parking lot,”’ Kuhlman said. Pina’s clothed body was found about 7 a.m. Sunday in a ditch along Jack Road near Warren Ranch Road. Online tributes While investigators worked to press charges on the suspect, Pina’s family and friends made plans for her memorial services. Many left online tributes to her, recalling Pina’s “enthusiasm” and “lovely smile.” Tatiana Armenta, Pina’s good friend and co-worker at TXU Energy’s marketing department, said Pina joked about pulling down the wall that separated their desks in one of their final conversations. “Just so we could work in the same cubicle together,” Armenta said. www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/hotstories/6277903.html

Police looking for 17-year-old's killer Copyright 2009 Houston Chronicle March 21, 2009, 11:24PM
Police are investigating the death of a 17-year-old who was shot and killed in a north Houston apartment complex Saturday night.
Officers arrived at the Coppertree Apartments, 1415 W. Gulf Bank, around 7:30 p.m. and found paramedics treating the teen, who appeared to have one gunshot wound, said Houston Police Department Sgt. C. Howard.
The teen was shot in a different part of the large apartment complex, but ran before collapsing where he died, Howard said.
At this time, details and the motive of the shooting are still unclear. The teen, identified by family members as James Troy Barnes Jr., did not live in the apartment complex and had come there with two friends for a child's birthday party, said his mother, Kathy Singleton, who rushed to the scene after learning of the shooting.
"I held him 'til he took his last breath," she said. "Until he went cold."
Another round of shell casing was found in a different part of the apartment complex, but investigators do not believe they are related to the teen's shooting.
"It's not uncommon to find shell casings in this area," Howard said.
Singleton fears the apartment complex is a high-crime area and would like to see it shut down.
"I don't want to see another mother cry," she said.
Anyone with information in this case is urged to call the HPD homicide division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

MAN DIES AT HOSPITAL: Woman Shot, Killed By Troopers After Allegedly Shooting Ex-Husband By KENNETH DEAN Staff Writer YANTIS — Authorities say a woman shot her ex-husband at his place of employment in front of a witness Friday morning before returning home. Several minutes later, she was shot to death by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers after she reportedly aimed her weapon at them. It is not clear whether the woman fired on troopers, but officials say they acted appropriately. Ms. Kimberly McLarry was pronounced dead at the scene and her ex-husband was flown to East Texas Medical Center, where he died later Friday. The ordeal began when Hopkins County Sheriff’s dispatchers received a 911 about 10:15 a.m. call in reference to a man being shot in the head at a mechanic’s garage about three miles north of Yantis. After shooting Robert Alan McLarry, the 48-year-old Kimberly McLarry returned to her home on County Road 1858 in Wood County where she faced off with troopers, authorities said. “We had troopers in the area when the initial call in Hopkins County came in, and they responded to that scene,” DPS Spokesperson Jean Dark said at the scene. Dark said when troopers went to the woman’s home, she approached a fence on her property and brandished a weapon. “They told her to drop the weapon but she pointed it at the troopers, and they fired,” she said. Dark said Texas Rangers, along with the Wood County Sheriff’s Office, are investigating the shooting and that a helicopter was brought in to assist investigators in mapping the shooting. She said there were a total of six shots fired, but she said it was unclear if the woman fired at troopers or not. “That is all under investigation at this point, so we don’t know who fired, but she had just shot someone in the head and then pointed her weapon at troopers. They felt threatened,” she said. Wood County records indicate the couple divorced in 2006. Dark said there was no information Friday about why she would open fire on her ex-husband. “We just don’t have that information at this point, so anything we could say would only be speculation,” she said.

Capital murder suspect arrested in shooting on Old Tyler Road Updated: June 29, 2009 12:04 PM CDT NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) - Friends and family are mourning the death of a former SFA football player shot multiple times during an apparent robbery attempt Saturday morning. 24 year old Michael Mott wore number 38 for SFA when he played four years ago, however, he is being remembered for his being just as impressive off the football field. The Nacogdoches Police Department is investigating a homicide that occurred just before 2 o'clock this morning in front of Harlan's Bar-Be-Que on Old Tyler Road. 20-year old Nickevete Rhonshondo Carey of Nacogdoches was arrested by authorities in Center five hours later. He's charged with shooting to death 24 year old Michael Mott of Nacogdoches. NPD officers found Mott on Old Tyler Road suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was rushed to Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital where he died a short time after arrival. The preliminary investigation into the shooting has indicated robbery as a possible motive. Mr. Mott was not employed at Harlon's. The suspect was seen fleeing as a passenger in a vehicle. Shortly after the call came in, a Nacogdoches Police patrol observed the vehicle northbound out Old Tyler Road. The vehicle was stopped near Hurst Drive, outside Loop 224, where the suspect fled on foot. Nickevette Rhonshondo Carey of Nacogdoches was arrested by Shelby County authorities in Center, Texas on June 27, 2009 shortly after 7:00 a.m. and NPD detectives transported him back to Nacogdoches. East Texas News has learned that the shooting victim was a former Stephen F. Austin State University football player who played for the Lumberjacks in 2004-2005. www.ktre.com/Global/story.asp?S=10605540&nav=menu118_1Remembering Michael Motte (w/video): www.ktre.com/Global/story.asp?S=10607014&nav=menu118_1

16-year-old dies after being shot in face in Maryvale by Jahna Berry - Jul. 3, 2009 10:20 AM The Arizona Republic A 16-year-old boy died after he was shot in the face at a Maryvale townhouse complex early Wednesday morning. The Phoenix Police Department has not released the victim's name because his relatives have not been notified, Lt. Cheryl Gipson-Thurman said. A maintenance man found the teen just before 6 a.m. near a tool shed at 67th Avenue and Indian School Road, and then called police. Police are looking for two suspects in the shooting. One is a 30-year-old Hispanic man with a shaved head, about 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 in height and weighs 160 to 170 pounds. The other man is described as 25 years old, Hispanic, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds with short dark hair. Gipson-Thurman said officers had been to the same neighborhood twice that morning - once for a report of gunshots and later for a call about a fight. She said it's unclear whether those incidents were related to the shooting. When police investigated the report of gunshots in the area, they didn't find anything, the lieutenant said. Officers responding to the second call found a man who said he had been in a fight with three other men. He was taken to the hospital, Gipson-Thurman said. If you have any information about the shooting, call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS www.azcentral.com

5 Found Dead in a Sydney Home Source: Sydney Morning Herald www.smh.com.au/national/sydney-family-murders-extremely-personal-police-20090720-dprw.htmlThe grisly deaths of five family members in northern Sydney over the weekend were targeted and "extremely personal" murders, police say. Police say the family - reportedly Chinese-born Min Lin, 45, his wife Yun Li Lin, 43, two sons, Henry aged 12 and Terry nine, and Mrs Lin's 39-year-old sister Yun Bin Yin - were killed some time between midnight and 9am (AEST) on Saturday. Police hope post-mortem examinations and continued forensic investigation of the Lin's Boundary Road home will shed more light on how and why the horrific attacks occurred. But Superintendent Geoff Beresford said it appeared the Lins had been targeted and could have known their attackers. "It appears to be an extremely personal type of attack given the level of violence but ... we're open-minded, we can't make any particular prediction this early in the inquiry," Detective Superintendent Beresford told Sky News. "I'm satisfied that it's not random given the house location, it's somewhat hidden from the street being a battle-axe [shaped] block, but I'm more concerned with the injuries to the people themselves that leads us to think that it is targeted."

Man slays estranged girlfriend before killing himself, cops say By Lien Hoang and John Brewer Pioneer Press Updated: 07/30/2009 05:00:45 PM CDT
A woman trying to end her 25-year relationship with a Wyoming man was shot and killed this morning by the man, who last week was making suicidal statements, according to law enforcement. The man then shot himself.
Erica Ann Wilson, 38, had just last Thursday moved out of the home she shared with James Harold Schwartzbauer, 46, in an attempt to end their relationship, said Lt. Paul Sommer of the Anoka County sheriff's office.
Witnesses saw the couple arguing outside of Wilson's new apartment building at 33 Village Parkway in Circle Pines at about 7:50 a.m. this morning just prior to hearing gunshots.
The sheriff's office believes Schwartzbauer shot Wilson and then killed himself.
The couple had been together for 25 years Erica Ann Wilson but never married, the sheriff's office said. They have three adult children.
There was no history of domestic calls to the home, Sommer said, but the children said their parents' relationship "was not tranquil."
"There was a lot of arguing," Sommer said.
Last Friday, Wyoming police signed Schwartzbauer into Regions Hospital in St. Paul because he had been making suicidal statements. Sommer said he was distraught about Wilson moving out the day before.
The couple's children helped the Wyoming police department remove "several" guns from the man's Wyoming home .
Schwartzbauer was released Saturday morning without being admitted.
The sheriff's office is still investigating where the man obtained the handgun used in the shooting.
Neighbors first heard the couple arguing around 9 p.m. Wednesday night.
"I assume one left last night and came back this morning because one was yelling at the other to pack their bags and leave," Jillissa Levercom, 31, said. "She wanted to stay away from him, he's been antagonizing her."
Levercom's daughter Micaiah Summer, 14, said Wilson had been trying to get away from Schwartzbauer for the past year.
Anthony Apikelis, 20, said he talked to the man who witnessed the fighting this morning and called police. He didn't get the man's name, but said he was parked next to Schwartzbauer shortly before the confrontation.
"(Schwartzbauer) was sitting in his car with the door open and one foot out," Apikelis said he was told. "It was pretty sketchy. He was clearly waiting for her."
Wilson then walked into the parking lot, where Schwartzbauer grabbed hold of her, Apikelis said.
"He threw her up against a car with a gun to her head," Apikelis said. "Then the neighbors started shouting, 'Hey, he's assaulting her,' so he dragged her into a tunnel."
Before pulling Wilson into the tunnel that runs through the apartment, Schwartzbauer slapped her once, maybe twice, neighbors said.
Some heard two gunshots inside the tunnel, and possibly a third that came three seconds later.
"I'm guessing he shot her twice and then shot himself," Summer said.
Levercom and Summer saw the bodies before police covered the tunnel with a blue tarp.
"There was just a trail of blood coming from (Schwartzbauer's) body," Levercom said.
Apikelis had a better look at Wilson, whose face was half covered in blood, he said.
Witnesses said a glass door had been shattered nearby.
A truck towed away the couple's vehicles, a green-blue Grand Prix and blue Volkswagen, they said.

Sam McGowan, Surrey, British Columbia Surrey stabbing victim Sam McGowan was just trying to protect his family when he was brutally killed Wednesday night by strangers, his distraught girlfriend said. www.vancouversun.com/dies+protecting+children+family/1869296/story.htmlAnd crap from the other side. The 14-year-old boy accused of fatally stabbing Surrey dad Sam McGowan only recently began carrying a knife to protect himself in a rough neighbourhood rife with drug use and violent racial tensions between teens, said a younger friend who was with him on the night of the murder. (yeah, yeah, tell me another story) www.vancouversun.com/news/Stabbing+accused+friend+says/1871741/story.htmlMaybe the 13 year old should be charged as an accessory to the fact. Maybe that may open his eyes that his "great 14 year old buddy" is a murdering scumbag.

Man, girl charged in killing of girl's mom Both charged with first-degree murder, Bastrop officials say. By Patrick George AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF Wednesday, August 19, 2009 BASTROP — An 18-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl are accused of killing the girl's mother after the mother's complaints prompted Bastrop County officials to charge him with having a sexual relationship with the girl. Joseph Dewayne Douglas was charged Monday with murdering Tracy Lynn Bellard at her McDade home while her daughter watched. Bellard had previously filed a complaint with police saying Douglas had established a relationship with her underage daughter. He was subsequently charged with indecency with a child, harboring a runaway and criminal trespass and was released on bail. Officials did not say Tuesday when those charges were filed. Bellard's sister told investigators Friday that the 42-year-old hadn't come to work at their family-owned restaurant, Mimi G's Steakhouse in Bastrop. Bellard's relatives declined to comment when reached by phone Tuesday evening. On Monday afternoon, officers searched the five-acre property in the Smithville area where Douglas lived with his grandparents and found Bellard's car and what they thought to be Bellard's charred remains near a brush pile, Bastrop County Sheriff Terry Pickering said Tuesday. The remains have been taken to the Travis County medical examiner's office for positive identification. Douglas and the 14-year-old were in a romantic relationship, Pickering said, but detectives do not know the motive behind the killing. "We don't have any idea at this point," Pickering said. "We're still trying to put the pieces together." Douglas and the 14-year-old, who is not being named because of her age, were arrested on first-degree murder charges at his home Monday, Pickering said. Douglas did not make a statement to detectives; his bail has been set at $500,000. Officials said the girl is in custody in Seguin. Douglas' arrest affidavit states that his 13-year-old brother brought a .22-caliber rifle to Douglas at Bellard's home. Police did not say where the boy got the gun. The 13-year-old told police he saw Douglas shoot and kill Bellard in the presence of Bellard's daughter, the affidavit states. The girl told investigators that she was present when Douglas shot her mother, the affidavit said. She said Douglas left her home in her mother's car. She said Douglas told her later that he had disposed of the body, the affidavit states. Because she is a juvenile, investigators would not disclose the details of the 14-year-old's involvement or why she too was charged with murder. "We have reason to believe she was a participant," Pickering said. pgeorge@statesman.com; 512-392-8750 www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/08/19/0819bastropmurder.html
