19 Year Old Arrested for Murder After Drug Deal
19 year old Russell Sean Hultgren was arrested Tuesday morning for murder and is being held in Henderson County Detention Center without bail. Two other teenagers, a 17 year old and an 18 year old who names have not been released, went to police after helping Hultgren move the body into the desert.
The two teens reportedly were with Hultgren while he was buying drugs from someone in a pickup truck. While waiting in the car, they heard gunshots. Hultgren then came back and told them that the driver of the pickup truck had threatened him with a gun, and when they struggled over it, it accidentally went off. The driver was killed in the dispute.
Hultgren then convinced the other two to help him dispose of the body off Horizon Ridge Parkway. The body was found Tuesday morning. Hultgren also drove the pickup truck into the desert and set it on fire.
