Two dead Valley teens, possibly same killer

Two Valley teens gunned down and killed. The most recent happened just this week and now families of these kids believe the same man might be responsible for both deaths.
The memorial for Gabe Claywell, who was murdered on Monday, continues to grow.
Police quickly caught the suspect who apparently bragged to officers that night that he'd already gotten away with murder once and that he'd do it again.
Two families together for the first time for the same reason, their murdered 16-year-old boys.
Shane Williams was gunned down on Dec. 11, his birthday, behind a golf course near 55th Avenue and Butler.
This week, some eight months later, Claywell was killed in a school yard just a few blocks away from the first spot and they might have both been murdered by the same man.
Police charged Joshua Coulter, 23, for this week's killing of Claywell and admit they consider Coulter a suspect in Williams' murder, but still have work to do.
So while police look at one suspect for both murders, two families are left with the same pain and same questions.
What was this murder suspect doing on the streets? How did he get a gun? Why did our boys have to die?
Police are waiting on results from more evidence before they can charge Coulter with the murder back in December.
The funeral for Claywell is set for Tuesday.
