“A Battle Creek man who allegedly shot and killed his stepson Monday night has been released from custody as the police investigation continues. Gary Prado, 49, was questioned and then released after Battle Creek police said he shot James L. Keck, 30, of Scotts. Detectives said it appears Keck broke into the house at 51 S. Mason St. and was shot as he was attempting to force his way into a bedroom where Prado, Darlene Prado, 48 — his wife and Keck’s mother — and Gary Prado’s 11-year-old daughter had taken refuge.An autopsy Tuesday showed Keck was shot four times, including once in the center of the chest, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.” (10/01/08)
