Overview

• Investigators say the 39-year-old fired multiple rounds from his apartment into 38-year-old Gustavo Gonzales’s car on Sept. 26.
• Officers found Gonzales with severe injuries, and he was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
• After the gunfire, police say Blystone set his apartment on fire and shot himself before initially claiming unknown people had attacked him.
• Evidence at the scene tied him to both the shooting and the arson, and detectives report he later called the attack targeted despite not knowing the victim.
• Blystone was cleared from the hospital Sunday and booked into jail on counts of first-degree murder, arson, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and discharge at a nonresidential structure.
