Guy has a history of poaching and violent domestic abuse. He also may have been responding to perceived racial discrimination. (No excuses, just a thought on his mindset.)
Also had military training in Laos.
Yep. I'd hate to say it, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's some racial aspect to this story. It doesn't excuse it in the least, but I would not be surprised if racial epithets, and/or alcohol were involved.
May God ease the pain and finally comfort all of them.
The latest report is he has no convictions, although the cops were called to his address on a domestic situation a couple of times.
