Muncie Police say both teen suspects wanted for the murder of 24-year-old Rafael Rodriguez are now in custody. 17-year-old Mason Lee O'Neal and Marcus Early Wilson II were considered armed and dangerous. Investigators believe the two teens and co-defendants went to Rodriguez' home with intentions to rob him of crystal meth. Rodriguez was then shot in the chest and pronounced dead two hours later at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital. The victim's brother, 25-year-old Jeffrey Rodriguez, remembers his brother as a bright, stunning young person.
"It's an overall bad feeling. I've been crying for like three days, I don't know if I can cry anymore," Rodriguez explained.
