The Coeur d'Alene Tribe of Idaho is mourning the loss of Timothy I. Williams, a star athlete who was murdered on Saturday.
Williams, who went by the name Timothy Wolfe, was shot in the head in downtown Coeur d’Alene, off the reservation. He was 21.
“He was a great young man. He had a lot of potential. A great smile, a great personality. He was loved by everybody," Chairman Chief Allan told The Spokesman-Review.
Juan C. Aldana Villanueva, 22, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Authorities said the two argued at a bar before the shooting incident.
Wolfe was a student at Salish Kootenai College, a tribal college in Montana. He was a star basketball player and participated in track and football.
