“From what we know there was no confrontation. There was nothing said back and forth. It was just senseless, just came up and shot in the back and ran away for nothing,”

Kirby said Riley and his friend had noticed someone was watching them from the top of a hill that overlooks the park.

However, it was dark and they were mostly focused on their cellphones so they barely paid any attention to the person.
