Garth Velin, 20, was shot and killed in his Superior, Wisconsin home on the evening of September 30, 2014. A graduate of Superior High School and a former university student, Velin coached youth sports and was described as well known in his community. A woman in the group approached the house under the pretense of looking for a lost dog to confirm he was home. After she signaled, three men entered while two stayed in a car.

Inside, a confrontation over a gun ended with Velin shot twice in the chest; his girlfriend, upstairs at the time, found him bleeding on the floor. The three men fled and told the others the plan had gone bad. Law enforcement identified the five and charged them in connection with the killing; reports note evidence of illegal drug activity but emphasize the violent outcome of the robbery. Did anyone in Superior at the time see signs of the group in the neighborhood or know more about Velin’s activities that night?
