When Inews visited his home, neighbors relayed that the young man lived alone. He was described as a fun and loving person.
“When I wake up this morning, a friend tell me Dwain dead. I didn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it. I can’t believe he is gone,” one neighbour identified as “Alana” said. (Ramona Luthi)
