4 More Charged in Case of David Grunwald, Alaska Teen Allegedly Killed for Smoking Friend’s Weed
More
Four additional teens have been charged in connection with the kidnapping and murder of David Grunwald, the 16-year-old whose remains were found on Dec. 2 after he went missing in November, bringing the number of teens charged to five.





Last week, 16-year-old Erick Almandinger allegedly confessed to involvement in the killing, saying he was a friend of David’s, according to the state troopers. He was charged with murder in the first degree, kidnapping, murder in the second degree and evidence tampering. He has been charged as an adult.







David was reported missing on Nov. 13, after he didn’t come home from hanging out with friends. His father, worried, called Alaska State Troopers and the following day, David’s 1995 Ford Bronco was found torched on a forest trail, according to the state troopers.

On Dec. 2, the same day David’s remains were discovered, Almandinger allegedly confessed, court documents obtained by PEOPLE state. Almandinger allegedly told investigators David came over to hang out, drink and smoke with two friends when things turned violent.



The 16-year-old was allegedly struck with a handgun until he was knocked unconscious, driven to a remote location in the woods and fatally shot after pleading for his life, the court documents state. It is still unclear who pulled the trigger, authorities say.
