Famliy of Gurnoor Singh Nahal are shocked and cannot understand why this happened especially when they suspect nothing was taken away.

“We cannot imagine it. We are lost,” his uncle Tejinderjit Singh was quoted as saying by the CBS Local News.
Nahal’s grandmother found him lying in the garage. She said she heard him crying for help, she rushed out but it was too late.

“She heard it and it was very loud and I think when she heard that, she came out and then she saw him,” Singh said.

Their entire neighbourhood find it hard to believe that this happened in their locality as things like this do not happen in their North Natomas neighbourhood.

“It was a young kid. We have kids to a 19-year-old and a 17-year-old, so it’s really sad,” said a neighbour, Gil Garcia.

Gurnoor went to Inderkum High and was supposed to graduate this spring.

Police responded to the scene and investigated the area for hours asking witnesses for help. They are yet to determine a motive in this case, the report said.
