Suspect In Winter Garden Teen's Death Bonds Out Of Jail
 
If this is truly the Dads comment, it is concerning. Dad is hurt to the core of his being. He has every right to lash out. The media should have enough sense not to publish Dad’s anguish, lest it be misinterpreted by the perp as retaliation.

From the link above:
The teen's father had a message for the people who he said claimed to be his son's friends but ultimately didn't help with the investigation.

"That was totally wrong, the way you treated Bruce," he said. "They're going down."
 
"Authorities have made another arrest in the death of a 16-year-old boy who was at the center of an Amber Alert case last month before his body was found in a shallow grave, according to the Winter Garden Police Department.

Police said Wednesday that 20-year-old Luis Rivera Jr. had been booked into the Orange County Jail and charged in the May 31 death of Bruce Hagans Jr. after authorities found him hiding in a basement of a home in New Britain, Connecticut, where extended family and friends had been helping him avoid arrest.

Rivera Jr. was extradited to Orange County overnight Tuesday and is now being held without bond, police said."

Second arrest made in death of Winter Garden teen at center of Amber Alert

According to an arrest affidavit, a family member of Rivera Sr.'s met with Hagans on May 31 for a marijuana sale, and when Hagans got into the man's gray Infiniti, gunshots were heard and Hagans was seen slumped over.

The suspects then met at a body shop before removing Hagan's body from the gray Infiniti and transferring it into a red one, then drove back to their home in the Wedgefield area, the affidavit said.

Police said Rivera Sr. then bought his relative a plane ticket out of state.
 
So this is simply another drug deal gone bad--and the only things unusual are the body being hidden and that Bruce at 16 years old is a few years younger than is usual in these violent altercations.
