I am so relieved the right person was charged with his murder. Not the young person who was just protecting his home.

Larry Scott Knapp Jr., 30, of Columbus, Ohio, died on July 2, 2018, after being shot while attempting to break into an East Side apartment. Knapp and an accomplice, Seth Phillip Arroyo-Hopper, broke a kitchen window about 6:15 p.m. Three teenage boys were inside; one retrieved a handgun and fired at Arroyo-Hopper as he climbed through the window. The bullet missed Arroyo-Hopper and struck Knapp in the chest. Knapp was transported to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center and was pronounced dead on arrival.

Arroyo-Hopper initially told authorities he had remained in the car, but surveillance video and witness statements contradicted that claim. He was charged with murder on August 7, 2018, and held in lieu of a $300,000 bond awaiting arraignment. Prosecutors noted that deaths that occur during the commission of a crime can lead to criminal responsibility even without proof of intent to kill.

Does anyone have additional information about the apartment break-in or the people involved that could help clarify what happened that night?
