Ronald's brother Steve claimed that Ron had previously lived inside the bowling alley and was met by multiple strangers in the months before the shooting.

Stephen claimed that Ronald was $1.5 million in debt, and he was in so much debt that he had to reopen the bowling alley only a week after the shooting, which police and everybody else in the community found very suspicious.

When police began questioning Ronald in the original investigation, he became uncooperative.

Ronald claimed that the bowling alley had been robbed multiple times since the opening in 1984, and that money was the sole motive.

He also claimed that he had gone to the police station every day for updates.

Investigators claimed that this was untrue and they had to track him down whenever they wanted to speak with him.

Either way, investigators never uncovered any proof that Ron was connected to the shooting.

After looking into Ronald Cenac, investigators began to look at another potential connection to the crime, the man's youngest son, RJ.

RJ Cenac tended the bar at the bowling alley, and several tips claimed that RJ was involved in a substantial amount of drug activity.

The theory was that RJ was potentially buying or selling cocaine at work.

Then the gunman found out about this and tried to intercept the drugs.

Police looked into the claims and discovered that RJ did in fact have an active cocaine addiction, but they said there was nothing there that could truly link him to the shooting.
