Summary
A 23-year-old man, Marco Tapia, was fatally shot in his Glen Alpine home under a shocking theory of mistaken identity — the shooters hit the wrong house. Two teens, ages 14 and 16, are now facing murder charges for allegedly supplying weapons and staging vehicles to misdirect investigators. The 14-year-old also faces arson charges. Both were denied bail and are set for court soon. Marco’s parents, who were home during the attack, described the horror of hate coming to their doorstep. This tragedy follows another suspected mistaken identity shooting just one day later, raising alarms about a troubling pattern. Police are racing to uncover why Marco was targeted — a chilling case involving youth, violence, and devastating consequences for a family.
