It was the night before their high school graduation from Snider High last year when best friends, Jaylen Murray and Jayden Cosme, went over to Uncle Laron Rosse’s home for a game of spades. Unusually, however, the night turned violent and Murray shot and killed the uncle he adored.  After the homicide, shock went through the close knit family, their friends and stunned their high school principal, Chad Hissong, who spoke at Murray’s sentencing Thursday in Allen Superior

-It was another evening at Uncle Laron’s. The boys - Jayden Cosme and Jaylen Murray - were in the middle of a game of spades when Uncle accused the two 18-year-olds of cheating. One thing is for sure. That evening of May 30, 2025, there was a physical altercation and amidst the drunkenness and (alleged) drug use of the 59-year-old victim, Laron Rosse, there were guns.
