SandBox Comments: Grand Junction Daily Sentinel "3rd suspect arrested in botched robbery"
"...Police have arrested another suspect in a botched robbery the night of Thanksgiving that resulted in the death of a co-conspirator and the shooting of the home’s resident.
Ryan Edward Mitchell, 23, 1302 Glenwood Ave., No. 203, told police during an interview Dec. 19 he unscrewed the light bulbs in the garage of the home that he and his friends later attempted to burglarize, according to an arrest affidavit.

He was in jail Friday in lieu of $100,000 bond.

According to an affidavit, Mitchell, Ringold, Cody English, 16, Jeremiah Carey, 20, and Johnny Herrera, 19, drove to the 28 Road home in an attempt to rob the residents of marijuana...."

SandBox Comments: KREX News 5 "More Information Released in Home Invasion/Murder Case"
(See updated story here. Over on the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. )
Can this story and case actually get any worse?
A young man is murdered.
Everyone is in shock thinking it was a home invasion and the man of the house is a hero protecting his family. Tremendous concern outpours from the community as he fights for his life.
We then find out the young man who was killed is a member of a gang that is at least four years old and known by locals as a gang that's been around that long. Commentators start to fire up asking questions. After all, they've been listening to Chief Camper and Sheriff Hilkey pump out the news that there are no real gangs in Grand Junction and they don't have a real problem. What's up with that and now what's up with this news?
We then find out that the alleged killer is known all over town and hiding out in various homes eluding capture.
And now we find out that the brave hero protecting his family is actually a major enough hard drugs dealer that he had the nerve to keep what sounds like meticulous books and records like any good small business does?
We now learn that his wife, with a young child in tow, came out to watch and help a drug transaction with known gang members. Is she the bookkeeper? Is it standard practice to let their child attend drug buys with known gang members? Does the baby go along when they go out to buy from their source? Does the shocked and frightened grandmother who was commenting in local forums and speaking of how wholesome her family is have any idea what her daughter believes is great childcare?
We now learn that the deceased young man's uncle drove them to this drug buy? After sitting around the family table for Thanksgiving dinner? Did he stay in the car just waiting for his drugs? Or was he just the wheelman long enough for these kids to score and then was headed back to the family home for some Thanksgiving football?
