Police Say Pot Theft Behind Slaying Of Fort Lewis Student
DURANGO, Colo. (AP) - Police say four Arizona men arrested in the fatal shooting of a college student in Durango planned to steal a large amount of marijuana from his house.
Three of the men allegedly entered the off-campus home of Samuel Gordon, a junior at Fort Lewis College, while the fourth waited outside early Tuesday morning. Gordon and four others were held at gunpoint but the men, who wore bandanas over their faces, fled after shooting Gordon. No one else was injured.
Police say one of the men, 19-year-old Kodi "Maz" Kuauhtli of Phoenix, was a former Fort Lewis student and an acquaintance of Gordon's.
He and the other suspects were being held in jail and no lawyer is listed as representing him in court documents. His father declined to comment to The Durango Herald.
