Family, police look for answers after Halloween party homicide 'Morning, noon and night, that's all I think about. I've been numb for nine weeks.
It's been nine weeks since he has been tragically taken from us, and we still have nobody in custody,' said his father, Brian David Cofer. 'My boy was only 39. He had his whole life ahead of him.' The tragedy unfolded during an annual Halloween party on Oct. 27 at a home on Canton Road. Following the incident, police released a cell phone video that showed a man pistol-whipping and seriously injuring another man in the backyard. That victim was taken to a hospital and survived. Shortly after the outside attack, the same suspect went into the home, where there was another fight broke out, according to police. Additional cell phone video released to News 5 shows Cofer— wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt— apparently trying to break things up when you hear the shot that took his life. 'Based on the videos that I've seen, my son's a hero. He's trying to protect people and keep people safe from the gunman,' his dad said.

Police also believe the gunman was part of a group of uninvited people who showed up at the party. 'It's awful when we lose a life, especially a young man in our community. It seems more tragic when they were trying to do the right thing. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time,' Simone said. The chief said items of evidence were submitted to BCI, and detectives are waiting for results that could potentially generate more leads, but for now, no suspects have been name
