This guy was my classmate . . .
http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/12/lagrange_man_heard_voices_kill.htmlHe also drove our limo to the last prom I went to. Didn't think he had mental issues; he was a bit off at times, but nothing alarming.
Sad . . .

I'm from Dayton and knew two murderers growing up. Both were famous cases locally because they had no discernible motives. One was a group killing of a girl, the other a shooting of a Speedway clerk (but no robbery). Both had racial components as well. Very sad stuff 
The first guy was a total ass that we grew up near. I never liked him and neither did the rest of my family. The second I worked with at my first HS job and hung out with a fair amount. We always got along, but I could tell he was sort of hard-edged. The first I've found no record of in the prison system. The second will be eligible for parole in 2050-something.
