Sheriff Steve Miera said Rainor Joiner, 23, admitted to shooting Matthew McLaughlin — a U.S. Army veteran who moved to the area from Virginia earlier this year — during a search of the home he shared with McLaughlin Sunday (Aug. 17). Joiner implicated another roommate, David Degroat, 22, in the crime, police said.
