...and you wonder why I go to the door with my Glock 27 in hand if the doorbell rings (or it's close by and charged)...sad and far too common ...I hope these people that did this burn to death in a house fire while rescue is "right there" (well maybe not that extreme...but you understand what I mean) ...

"Investigators believe that the victim was specifically targeted and are confident that there is no general threat to the public."

That tells me they all knew each other. I think there's a big rest of the story that hasn't come out yet...

I agree, it seems there's another angle here that they knew each other, which may explain the fucked up treatment they gave the guy. Unfortunately, working in the local custody facility, I see so many stories in the news of a poor person having horrible things done to them, only to run the victim and find out they are pretty much a piece of shit. No idea if that's the case here, but you will, also, never find that out through the local news. Had a "poor" homicide victim here not too long ago that I knew real well from work (frequent visitor, and total asshole while visiting) and I was not surprised by his demise, but there was absolutely no sign of negativity towards the guy in the news. Honestly, I've read so many stories with criminal victims, I read every story with a sense of doubt.
