Doesn’t sound like he was the bad guy. Dude fell and hit his head. And dude tried to take a baby. Wth?
I think anyone would run him down and if dude falls, then it’s his bad luck.

Maybe there’s more to the story but shit.

He fell, running for his life, and was fatally injured. Glad you’re not sheriff. Or judge. [edit]

I heard he had custody of the baby and was trying to get his kid. The witness’s statement of falling was bogus, that person was trying to help his friends to not get in trouble. The guys beat the crap out if him cause they thought they were helping a girl out. But what really happened…….is a group of guys involved themselves in a custody dispute and assumed the guy to be bad vs girl. Their supposed vigilante beat down went too far. Forensics shows the fall story is bs. Thats y its taken so long for the 1st arrest. That fellow flipped & now arrest #2.

Bullcrap lam was walking his dog at the park while talking on the phone with his free hand because he was stranded in garberville after accidentally putting diesel gas in his car while trying to pick his own son up from the airport. He was in an unfamiliar town with no way of escape due to his vehicle being worked on nearby, It makes absolutely no sense that he would attempt a kidnapping. And we all know he didnt fall. For it was already comfirmed that he was beat in the head with a blunt object until he was brain dead. And who falls besides a dumpster?🤔 he was found in an alley in a small lot with nowhere to escape. Surrounded by 3 walls and a dumpster He was completely blocked in and cornered. His only escape route was through these guys. Imagine how his son felt waiting at that airport for his father all day.
