I agree with everyone if someone breaks in there house etc. Although, there is tons of information missing from this story. I live not too far from the scene and have some more info.
First of all they didnt know the guys name who got shot for a while. The same night that this happened the people at Speedway(off of 270 Westerville exit) around the corner knew everything. They said the guy and his family came in almost every day they knew him by name etc. Also, they said he was drunk asking for rides to Cleveland ave which is prolly 1-2 miles away. Nobody would give him a ride and he hung around drinking a few tall boys. Either they told him to hit the road or he just started walking home. Anyway he was almost half way home. I doubt he just picked that place to rob. There is 3 shack like 1 story appartments there the worst places in the area.
Anyway if I had to guess I think he prolly knew somebody who lived in another appartment or lived there before etc. Or was trying to buy drugs etc. It doesnt make sense unless he was that drunk. He was almost home and on foot.Some funny things about all of this was the guy who shot him wouldnt answer his door and talk to the police.. (drugs maybe) fired like 15 shots and was 19
