This is a sad and confusing story.
Ryan Bolden, a former first-round pick of the Los Angeles Angels, was shot and killed Wednesday night in a dispute over candy.
Investigators tell FOX 5’s Marc Teichner that children, around 10- and 11-years-old, were arguing about the candy at an apartment complex in the 4000 block of Lakemont Drive. Police say some adults got involved and things turned violent around 8:30 p.m. That’s when a 23-year-old man was shot and killed.
Investigators say they have a suspect, but haven’t released a name at this time. Detectives are interviewing a number of witnesses, and they could have more on the case by day’s end.
Bolden was drafted out of Madison Central High School in Mississippi by the Angels as the 40th overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft.
