Teddie Lubbers, Hunt’s grandmother, told KOIN 6 News that she has a hard time looking at pictures of the teen.

“I wake up and I think he’s in the living room with me and I just, I miss him a lot. He was a good boy,” she told the news station. “He was a typical, you know, 19-year-old. But he didn’t deserve it. He didn’t deserve it at all.”
