Police have been called near the home before, including for a bizarre incident in January.
Stone Colburn reportedly skateboarded down a hill on Stoneleigh Drive, right into Route 7 traffic. He was struck by a semi-truck but survived.
Neighbors also told News4 there have been concerning incidents at the Stoneleigh clubhouse and Colburn is no longer allowed there.
In 2017 — when Colburn was still a teen — WPTZ reported he was arrested and accused of stabbing a man he’d been staying with. Colburn reportedly pleaded not guilty.
News4 called Colburn’s parents seeking comment but we’ve not yet heard back. Crow’s family said they are focused on planning arrangements and are not ready to speak on camera.
