April 19. 2022 – The suspect? The house manager, Kevin Rice, who police said killed Pulling and tried to steal his bank card.
“I don’t think he belonged here, I really don’t,” Chelchasity said.
Now Chelchasity and Rocco have filed a civil lawsuit against Rice and Real Life.
“There is no one overseeing the behavior of the participants, and the house managers and the case managers, and there needs to be more oversight of all aspects of the program,” Noel Brooks, an attorney at Brooks and Baez who is representing the siblings, said.
The suit alleges Real Life failed to protect their residents when they accepted Rice into the program and promoted him to house manager within a month.
This, despite his lengthy criminal history, which included raping a 13-year-old girl, failure to register as a sex offender twice, possession of a firearm by a violent felon, eluding police, and grand larceny.
