Armin Hamidovic was sitting on a bed next to two women in a room at a Red Roof Inn on February 26. The Star, citing court records, reported that one of the women was the ex-girlfriend of 18-year-old Isaac Perdomo-Paz.
Perdomo-Paz and Hamidovic supposedly exchanged words, and court records say Perdomo-Paz "lifted his shirt, pulled a black handgun
from his waistband, extended his arm, pointing the gun towards Armin
with his finger on the trigger and made a motion" as if he were
"racking" the gun. Then Perdomo-Paz allegedly shot Hamidovic in the head. He's also accused of fatally shooting and killing Dejan Joksimovic and Delfino Elizondo. Both were shot in the head.
The three
homicide victims were partying in Independence prior to moving to a
room at a Northland Red Roof Inn. Police were called to the
hotel room around 3:19 a.m. The Star's report is a brutal read:
