19 year old killed; Times article keeps case mysterious
Okay, fine. But then look at the content of the (brief) piece:
A 19-year-old man who was found shot to death Monday morning in Stanwood has been identified by family members as Nicholas Desimone.
Snohomish County sheriff's deputies were called to a home in the 19300 block of 96th Avenue Northwest shortly before 5 a.m. Monday, when a woman reported waking up to find her boyfriend wasn't breathing. Officers discovered the man was dead, with obvious signs of trauma to his body, according to the Sheriff's Office. Other family members of the girlfriend were in the house when the victim was discovered. No arrests have been made.
This leaves me with more questions than it answers. Doesn't "shot dead" normally imply that someone was going about their daily business, during which they were shot? And, more importantly, how was the boy shot while sleeping with his girlfriend?
Maybe they weren't in the same bed - the article doesn't specify, but says she woke up to find him not breathing (which makes me think they were together, or at least close enough that she could wake up and look at him to notice something was wrong). And whether he was in the same bed or elsewhere in the house...how did nobody hear the gunshots that the headline indicates killed him? Nowhere in the article does it say where he was shot, just that his body had "obvious signs of trauma."
Guess we'll have to wait to find out more. Stay tuned...
