DULUTH - While serving an 18-month tour of duty in Iraq, Staff Sgt. Adam Sheda started a MySpace page that revealed interests from the unusual -- Russian language and literature -- to the more typical daydreams of a young, homesick soldier: women, cars and beer.
"All my friends better throw me one hell of a party when I get home," wrote Sheda, 26, of Cloquet, Minn. "My plans when I get back are to drink until my heart stops."
Early Saturday, less than a week after returning from Iraq, Sheda was fatally shot with his own pistol in Duluth after he crashed a backyard party of strangers while apparently intoxicated, according to court papers filed Thursday.
The complaint alleges that Hogan, a lumberyard laborer from Duluth who has no serious criminal record, severely beat Sheda, wrestled away his pistol, and shot him in the head while yelling "187" followed by an expletive.He later told police that the number 187 is a reference in certain rap music to the California penal-code number for murder, the complaint said.
