Tim Wolfe, a member of the Salish Kootenai College national championship basketball team, played in a four-on-four league at the college Thursday night, and participated in a shoot-around with his teammates after classes Friday before heading home to Idaho for Mother’s Day weekend. By Saturday, those same teammates were on the road to Kootenai Medical Center in Coeur d’Alene to say goodbye to Wolfe. The 21-year-old was murdered early Saturday morning, shot in the head as he and a group of friends were walking downtown. SKC men’s basketball coach Zach Camel said Wolfe’s mother kept her son, a member of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe from nearby Worley, on life support until everyone could get to Coeur d’Alene to say a final farewell/Vince Devlin, Missoulian.
