DENVER — In the span of just two minutes, a 9-year-old Denver boy lost his entire immediate family.
His mom and dad, Althea and Joseph McDaniels, lay dead on the first floor in their Bear Valley home. His 11-year-old sister, Christine, was dead upstairs with gunshot wounds to the head.
The family was slated to move to Mississippi shortly to be closer to relatives. Instead, according to police and prosecutors, Bustaman Kartabrata tricked the family — his family — into letting him into the house on May 23, 2019, and opened fire on his stepson, his stepson’s wife and his granddaughter.
