posted (January 29, 2016)
Byron Flowers, Max Orosco and Windell Thurton were today charged for killing 32 year old Ian Robert Blair in Dr. Marcus Rugama's house. They were each arraigned on a charge of murder for that killing, and additionally, the trio was charged with aggravated burglary, the attempted murder of 44 year old Dr. Rugama, dangerous harm and use of deadly means of harm. There's no bail for murder so all three were remanded until March 30. We should note that Max Orosco has diminished mental capacity.

On Wednesday morning at 1:40 am, the trio - armed with a knife - allegedly went into Dr. Rugama's home as he was picking clothes from the line. They attacked Blair - and Rugama intervened. Both Rugama and Blair were stabbed in the struggle, but Blair didn't make it. Rugama is expected to make a full recovery.
