Another neighbor who has also lived here for decades said her husband often talked with the man who was killed, 73-year-old Arthur Jackson, and Jackson would occasionally mow her grass.

The complaint paints a picture of what was going on in the house at the time of the homicide. According to the complaint, police found a large amount of blood and a man dead in the back left bedroom.

As News 3 has reported, officers were called to the home for a welfare check. According to the complaint, Kyron met them at the door when they showed up and told them his grandfather was sleeping. That's when officers and Kyron went to the bedroom.
