Roley was seen glowering from a driver's license photo but was also pictured on social media images with strikingly-long hair which emphasized his delicate features.
It remains unclear if Roley was employed, public records say his last address was listed as being in Phoenix, Arizona. No motive for the double-murder has been given.
It is also unclear whether Roley was struck by law enforcement gunfire during a gun battle, or if he killed himself on realizing there was no way out.
No public social media profiles have been unearthed for Riley and he does not appear to have left any kind of manifesto explaining his reason to murder two.
Roley's father Jason, 39, lives about an hour's drive away from the scene of the shooting, in the town of Priest River, Idaho. He is married to a woman called Sara Roley - Wess' stepmother - and the pair are parents to two young children.
The fire was first reported at around 1.21pm. Two local firefighters - one from Coeur d'Alene Fire Department and another from Kootenai County Fire & Rescue - were shot and killed while scoping out the scene.
Roley is pictured with his mother Jennifer during a Hawaii beach break. The pair appeared close.
