One neighbor, Dylan Meadows, told FOX 4 he heard unusually loud noises coming from the apartment. Other neighbors echoed the same sentiment.
“I heard them getting into it a few times last week,” Meadows said.
Meadows spoke positively of Ross, whom he has known for only six months.
“I used to go fishing all the time,” Meadows said. “He would come over and sit there and fish with us. He would often bring us food and sit on the grill. He was a really cool guy and did.”
