Homicide detectives believe murder victim Nate Thompson was lured to his brazen and brutal death. The 26-year-old father of five young girls doesn't live in the area he was killed and according to his family, has no connection to the complex.
Thompson, who was unemployed but did some deejaying, has had contact with police "but nothing to suggest this should have happened to him," Browne said.
