He was found on the floor of the kitchen of his home. He had been tied and restrained and murdered. He died of a gunshot wound.
Paul had attended morning classes at Grayson High School for a half-day before winter break. He was found by his father at about 2:40 p.m.
Paul played on the freshman football team for most of the season and played baseball, according to his friends. But he had one hobby that made him stand out from others - shoes. He reportedly had about 20 pairs of high end, high priced basketball shoes.
It is reported that Paul Sampleton traded and sold basketball shoes on various websites. Police acknowledge they have seen growing violence around the shoe game in recent weeks and people have actually been targeted for their shoes.
