Last Thursday, a trio of suspects in Federal Heights robbed one person at his car and then shot and killed a second man inside an apartment.

Authorities have now identified the victim as Brandon Putnam, 24, whose MySpace page describes his profession as "Super Roofer." As for his most recent status/mood update, from May 23, he used a line from Korn that's got to be tough for his family and friends to read: "All I want in life is to be happy (happy)." The song's title is "Dead."

After the shooting, a comment was posted on the page that reads, "Today was tragic and my sympathy to your family and all your friends, Brandon! It was an honour to know you even though only briefly. Fly freely and go with GOD!!"

Here's the simple release about Putnam from the Adams County coroner:
