Kyler Allen and Jordan Ostrander More News

At the Wessling family home near Lake Buchanan in rural Llano County, shock is turning to grief and heartbreak. Loved ones of Preston and Evan Wessling struggle to process why the father and son were shot and killed in their own driveway off Airport Road in Tow early Saturday morning.

“Evan was 14 years old. Preston was only 38. They still had whole lifetimes ahead of them,” said Robert Newton, Preston Wessling’s older brother

Monday morning, 19-year-olds Kyler Allen And Jordan Ostrander were arrested, and charged with capital murder. They’re being held at the Guadalupe County Jail. Authorities say the suspects and victims knew each other, but would not elaborate beyond that.

“I don’t want to harm them. I just want to talk to them and ask them why,” said Preston’s father, Howard Wessling, Sr

The news of these two lives cut short has rocked the small community of Tow, which has never dealt with a tragedy quite like this.

When you have a 14-year-old killed and then two 19-year-old teenagers arrested for it, it has everybody pretty shook up, that’s for sure,” said Chief Deputy Brad Evans with the Llano County Sheriff’s Department.

Preston’s daughter, says she’s at a loss as to why and how this happened.

“It doesn’t happen out here. That’s not something that happens, especially to them. There’s just not people who hate them,” she said.

I asked the family how they’d like Preston and Evan to be remembered.

“As being kind and friendly,” said Howard Wessling, Sr

“Just with happiness. They wouldn’t want people to be sad over them. They were funny and loving. Biggest goofballs, that’s the best way to describe them,” said Preston’s daughter, who didn’t want to be identified.

“They were two peas in a pod. Whatever Preston was doing Evan wanted to do too,” said Newton.

Preston was known for his generosity.

“He’d give you more than just the shirt off his back. Anything,” said his daughter.

Evan was a freshman at Burnet High School.

“It wasn’t just his friends that he was friends with,” said Preston’s daughter of her brother. “He became part of his friends families. They’re missing their son, too.”

The family has set up a GoFundMe for funeral

“People are just going out of their way to help us,” said Howard Wessling, Sr.

“They’re really living in the spirit of my dad. They’re giving when they have nothing,” said Preston’s daughter.

If you have any information you think might be helpful in the investigation, you’re urged to call the Llano County Sheriff’s Office at (325) 247-5767. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Hill Country Crime Stoppers at 1-866-756-TIPS (8477).

Shane Osborne More News

A man was arrested in Beech Grove, Indiana, after video was shown on live TV of a toddler, reportedly the man’s son, waving and pulling the trigger of a handgun.

The video was aired by Reelz series “On Patrol: Live,” during the TV show’s live broadcast on Saturday, January 14, according to a news release.

A police incident report obtained by CNN affiliate WTHR said Shane Osborne, faces a neglect charge. The report also lists “ring camera footage” that was obtained and uploaded to a police server. A 9mm gun found at the scene had 15 rounds in the magazine, but no rounds in the gun’s chamber, the report said.

Osborne is expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon, according to WTHR. The show identified Osborne as the boy’s father.

Beech Grove Mayor Dennis Buckley released a statement to WTHR saying he was “mortified” about the incident.

“As with all of you, I’m mortified and what took place and I’m so thankful that no one was hurt, especially the young child. I appreciate the quick action taken by the Beech Grove Police Department to secure the small child and the gun in question.”

Video from a neighbor’s security camera that aired on “On Patrol: Live,” shows a little boy in the entryway of an apartment complex waving a handgun back and forth and pulling the trigger.

According to a release from the show, Beech Grove police officers responded after a neighbor called 911, “stating she and her son had witnessed the child alone in the hallway outside their unit, and that he had been holding a gun and pointing it at them.”

When officers arrived, the purported father of the child said he did not have a gun. “I don’t have a gun,” the man said, as police entered his apartment, “I have never brought a gun into this house, if there is, it’s my cousin’s.”

Police proceeded to search the apartment looking for a gun and eventually found a firearm under a television in the living room.

It’s unclear if it’s the same gun seen in the neighbor’s security footage, but one of the officers on the scene says it’s a “Smith & Wesson SD9mm.”

Police are later seen taking the man, handcuffed, out of the apartment complex.

An officer said after speaking with on-call prosecutors, there was enough for an arrest “for child neglect, that’s a felony,” since there was a loaded firearm in the apartment.

CNN has reached out to the Beech Grove police department, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office and the mayor’s office for comment and more information.

It is unclear if Osborne has an attorney at this time. CNN has reached out to the public defender’s office for more information.
