i know steven also he wasent a tweek. and certainlly not a axe murderer . i think its a nightmare that came true for both families. sorry to see it happen

Its a very sad situation for all involved, but all the ignorant people who have decided to jump to conclusions and bash David’s name, let me ask you, WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR FAMILY? Are you robots with no feelings? Do you not realize that an innocent man’s life was taken away from his mother and sisters, and maybe just maybe they are reading all this garbage and all you are doing is basically what his murderer has done BREAK THEIR HEARTS! You all open your mouths when, if it was you dealing with this hurt and loss this kinda of talk would crush your heart. Now for the man who did this, rather he’s a tweaker or if it’s because of the car accident he was capable of raising his son so why he would claim the crazy card is OUTRAGEOUS he knew the difference from right and wrong and he chose wrong and not only hurt David’s family but his own son too, does he deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison THAT’S ASOLUTLEY CORRECT, David will never get to kiss his mother goodnight and never see his sister off to school again or be there at family functions, Steven made the wrong decision and he should pay atleast half of what David’s family has left, with the rest of his natural life behind bars, David’s family have nothing at least Steven will be able to breath and eat and see his son when he comes to visit him, David will never be able to have children and get married. The family is hurt enough rather you agree with me or not it is a very sad situation. And his family maybe reading this have some respect and some self diginity refrain from further bashing this young man’s name. R.I.P. David you will be forever missed.

you cannot leave yourhome and chase a kid thru knee deep mud 1/4mi.. Hi him several times while hes beggin and scared senseless and dumbfounded with no reaction time..and claim defense. He keept that axe hung by the door he did to do drugs and alotof people with head i juries do…idc if he had an injury tiss kid davidwas a good kid a friend brother son and well liked..this other gguy may have friends and family who never thot he’d go this far but they had more of a headsup than david did and they are just lucky it wasnt a child or one of them…all sympathy is for this scared kid totally thinnking being stuck in the mud was the worst part of the nite and storm… This guy neds to go awayfor as long as possible..idc this is where i livee my kids have been stck in that same dark ditch ..and hung out two doorss away thanking god they are alive.. R.i.p david valdezz Od bless your om and your girl..friends sisters and soul..xoxo

and to the guy who said steven was a tseeker.and he wasnt an axe murderer well dudee he is..and tweeking means aranoia..u aint scared and run out of our house lock ur door all a cop.he totally wanted to hurt someeone and uur lucky i wassnt u standing there waiting for help young kid with no idea he would be running for his life..its sad people always say hes so quie a good uy he nver ..they said that about jeffrey dahmer..said it about petersen..puente…ted bundy..so believe it anyone can be someone else you dont know people have secre tots secretlivesand itsalways behind closed doorsthe truth comes out..domestic violence come on he was a timebomb ..kids never be alone on a dark rd at4a.m. Lock yourself in car and cal 911 or your parents.. Xoxox

ryan he is an axe murderer and he also was paranoid….and ttweeeking..noone knows anone so much except hose in his home and he wass violent.and all the people tryin o badmouth he womann who had him arrested shame on you..shess alive cuz she got out.. Poor david so oblivviouus to the insanity tha awaited hi..God bless he and his family..and God bless seveens kids and mother too..sadness everwhere..if a friend or familymemebers threatening suicide or violene ifu truly love thheem seek help..dont talk about it later ya had no idea..becuz tthe signs are always there.

so did you do some crank with steven ?and thats why you say he was a tweek?because i know him and his family .he wasent a tweek once again. yes he should of never killed david and theres no excuse for that . but just because steven lives in rio linda it doesent make him a tweek . what would u do if u came home and found people in your house ? you gona bend over and let them take your ass to ? some times people snap when they get messed with . anyway its a really bad situation for both families

so, the man is “stuck” outside, all decked out in red, at 4:30 am on the streets of Rio Linda….. and totally innocent? ok….. anyways, i dont really care what you people WHO DONT KNOW STEVEN say anymore, your words mean nothing to the people that truly know steven, and we will see just what happens. They will find out all the FACTS

@Angela: I tend to think he might have been tweeking, that he must have considered a material posession more valuable than another human beings life?

wow, rio lindians, what the h—- is REALLY going on out there….come on folks, it really, really, is bad to kill, whether tweekin, triooin, whatever….about 90% of the people I know would be dead, if I got tired of being messed with….again wow…god bless the one who died, period..

Asking the right questions and getting answers.

What would make a home owner react in such a way as to kill a suspected burglar?

Has the home owner been the victim of a near death traffic accident in the past that resulted in severe and long term traumatic brain injury?

What kind of behavior results from this injury? Is the home owner subject to impulsive behavior especially in highly charged situations? Can the behavior be controlled in such situations? In regard to Steven Zinda these might be the right questions to ask.
