How they died

Suicide

17-year-old Robert "Bo" Caldwell's mother reported to police January 9 that her son had stolen the family car and a gun. At about 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, deputies saw Caldwell and his 16-year-old friend in the car at Curtis and Slattery roads. The driver reportedly sped off. The car stopped at Summers and Lyons roads, where Caldwell's friend got out with his hands up and told police Caldwell might have shot himself. Police said they found Caldwell dead on the front seat with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
