Investigators spoke with the man renting the apartment who said he had been having problems with his ex-boyfriend, David Longiness Arriaga, that same day and that they had broken up three says earlier. The victim told police that Arriaga had been trying to reconcile their relationship ever since.
Court documents state the apartment's owners found two notes written on a bed sheet in the bedroom which read, "I never cheated on you and Rich, I only want u sorry I have to do this." The note was signed David.
