Bob Cipriano died April 16 when police say his son Tucker Cipriano and friend, Mitchell Young beat him to death with a baseball bat. Bob's wife, Rose and other son, Sal were sent to the hospital in critical condition.

It is believed they were high on K2 or synthetic marijuana during the attacks.

Cipriano and Young were charged with Murder during a preliminary hearing in late May. They have since given statements to police, admitting the attacking but blaming the other person.
