A violent robbery in a rural area turned deadly when a homeowner was shot and killed in front of his house. The victim was outside, feeding his pets, when the attackers struck.
The armed men then entered the home and tied up the victim’s parents, aged 70 and 80, using cable and tape. The elderly couple was left bound and helpless, suffering from hypothermia, all through the night.
