The charging documents filed Wednesday give some insight into how the first victim, 49-year-old Ryan Hooley, was killed and allege that — like the 23-year-old victim — Taele and Hooley were strangers.'Taele stated he did not know Victim but intended to kill him,' according to the documents, filed in 4th District Court.
