Jonathan Froste recalled getting a phone call from his elder brother on the night of Oct. 17, 2016, shortly after Elijah Moore — an acquaintance of all four defendants — robbed David Froste at gunpoint of three ounces of marijuana valued at $300.
“I remember him being really angry about being robbed,” Jay Froste said. “He said he wanted to go shoot up Elijah’s house and go look for him.”
But David Froste’s anger didn’t stem from the stolen pot, according to his brother.
“It was about putting a gun to David. That’s why he wanted to kill him,” Jay Froste said.
Unable to find Moore following the robbery, David Froste, Campos and Shannon — all of whom were present for the shakedown — set their sights on his friend Enrique Rios.
“They came to me, and Chandale brought up Enrique to David,” said Froste, who was at his then-girlfriend’s house in Woodland at the time. “Chandale said, ‘Enrique is Elijah’s friend.’ He was pissed about Elijah putting a gun to him, too.”
“Chandale is the reason Enrique was killed,” Jay Froste added.
Jay Froste said he saw his brother and Shannon the following day, and “they said that they killed Enrique. …David told me that when he was taking a shower, he was remembering Enrique screaming before he died.
“He seemed to feel bad that he killed someone just for being someone else’s friend. That’s what I gathered,” he continued. But, “he still wanted to kill Elijah, too.”
