A witness \u2014 who said she was afraid of Sutton \u2014 reported that she and Sutton were arguing early in the morning on Oct. 1, 2024, so she distanced herself from him and sat on a bench in front of 1750 NE 167 St., according to police.<\/p>\n
Mena, who was rollerblading, \u201capproached her,\u201d \u201csat next to her,\u201d and \u201casked\u201d her if she was \u201calright,\u201d she said she was \u201cfine,\u201d and he left rollerblading, according to the police officer\u2019s arrest report. <\/p>\n
The witness reported, according to police, that she saw Sutton \u201cemerging from the opposite side of an abandoned building\u201d while holding a black gun, and heard him calling out to Mena: \u201cHey! Come over here!\u201d<\/p>\n
The witness reported Mena \u201ccontinued rollerblading,\u201d and \u201cfell to the ground\u201d after Sutton raised the firearm and fired several times, according to the police arrest report. There were 10 spent bullet casings at the crime scene, according to police. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe then approached the victim and observed that he had been shot … then left the area,\u201d a police officer wrote, according to the arrest report. <\/p>\n
The witness said hours later she asked Sutton why he had shot Mena, and Sutton allegedly responded by \u201cquestioning why she had been speaking with another man,\u201d according to police. <\/p>\n
Mena\u2019s family had pleaded with the public for help with finding the shooter. During a news conference in November, through tears, Mena\u2019s widow said she wanted justice. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe witness explained that she did not immediately report the incident because she feared for her safety,\u201d a police officer wrote, according to the report. \u201cThe witness stated she was afraid of [Sutton], knew that he possessed a firearm, and feared potential retaliation from the defendant and his associates.\u201d<\/p>\n
