Anaheim : Friend Is Suspected in Shooting Death
Police in Anaheim were searching Thursday for a 38-year-old man they said is suspected of shooting and killing a longtime friend in his home and then fleeing.
Officers found the body of Lee Madison Fox slumped in the bedroom of his house in the 1500 block of South Dallas Drive with a gunshot wound to the head.
Neighbors told police that Fox had arrived home shortly before 10 p.m. on Wednesday with a friend, said Sgt. Chet Barry. It was unclear where the two men had been earlier, he said.
Within minutes, neighbors reported, a gunshot was heard and the friend ran from the home, Barry said. When officers arrived, they discovered Fox’s body leaning against a hide-a-bed inside his single-family home.
Officers recovered the apparent weapon, a revolver, Barry said, and interviewed neighbors who were acquainted with both men. However, investigators failed to come up with a motive for the slaying, Barry said.
