Truckee Snowboarder Killed At Halloween Party

by The Editors on October 31, 2007

BildeCoogan Kelly, a 21-year-old snowboarder from Truckee was one of three people shot and killed (along with two other people) at a private halloween party at a home at 3125 Heatheridge Lane in Reno, early Sunday morning.

Reno police investigators say the shooting broke out on a crowded dance floor at a private party. . . Van Ruiten [Coogan’s girlfriend] said shoving by the dancers turned into a fight, and she was separated from Kelly before the shooting occurred.

Kelly was sponsored by Totally Board, Adidas, and Ride Snowboards. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

We remember Coogan! We will always remember him. Every year we are so sad that this type of thing can happen. Halloweens are not the same anymore and we are all scared to even go to parties anymore. People just get to stupid and take it out on innocent people. Cougan was our brother and Halloween is not the same without him. We send our love and a thank you for posting this. Nobody seems to take action anymore to remember this tragedy.
