David Shearing crept through the darkness of the old prison camp, to the fire-lit campsite of two grandparents, two parents, and two children.

Nineteen year old Brian Cohee JR, went for a cruise late one Saturday night in February of 2021. He wore coveralls, three pairs of gloves, and had a Michael Myers mask and large kitchen knife at the ready. When he found what seemed to be the perfect victim in sixty nine year old Warren Barnes - a homeless man well known in Grand Junction, Colorado - Cohee struck without mercy. The rest is a mess. Some of which his mother would discover in her strange son’s closet.
