For what money, though? As others have pointed out, California divorces are easy and (unless there's a pre-nup) always 50/50 in dividing assets - and she's a DOCTOR, so I'm sure her financial future is pretty secure. Life insurance was also mentioned, but how much could that really have been? Enough for a woman like this to kill her husband, leave her children without a father, and risk going to jail? Doesn't seem likely to me.

Very tragic and sad for the family.


Rest in peace.

Why is there a GoFundMe page? I know this is a tragic and bizarre story, but still....
Because two kids are going to be growing up without a father maybe? Because the family just took a 60%+ income drop?

Nothing strange about that at all. Family members often go camping together, and not in the same tent.

Something stinks with this.

How random would a stray bullet have to be to hit the dad and not the kids?

I think it is either the wife or something like a gang initiation.

Too weird.

Police are pleading with the public for help solving this.

At this point, I think they need to be more clear on some details so the public knows what to report.

For example, if the bullet was shot through the tent from possibly some real distance away, the public should be informed the direction the bullet came from, the range of how far it could have been, what kind of gun was used, and to think of someone who might have been out poaching at that time.

If the shot was done inside the tent with him as a possible intended target, the public should be asked to think of people who might have a grudge against him and were they gone that night.

So he was shot around 4:44am. Early but not exactly in the dead of the night. I get up for work at that time and there's enough light outside to see clearly already here in SoCal. So I doubt it's some kind of gang initiation as he/she would be seen and heard making their getaway. Same with a planned hit that close. A long shot would be possible but would require the guy to be exiting the tent and standing fairly straight up to get hit in the chest.



I think it was blind shot into the tent. Ballistics should be able to give us a better picture once it's completed.

Why not investigate the dad's (now-ex) mother-in-law, provided she is still alive?

Stray bullets ARE random by definition... I'm sure if it was a "hit", the cops will likely find it out.
