I asked him \u2018why\u2019 about three times and the third time he tried to explain it, he just started breaking down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter told the outlet that League was two years younger but considered his brother his best friend. He said League had traveled to Tempe, Arizona, to visit friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew he had a place to stay; I knew he got there. We texted \u2026 that\u2019s about it,\u201d Hunter told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>League flew to Arizona on June 9. His last text to his brother was on June 10.<\/p>\n<p>The teen\u2019s family told ABC15 that they were not immediately informed that League\u2019s body had been found, so they filed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/death-toll-in-surfside-condo-collapse-continues-to-rise\/\" title=\"Death toll in Surfside condo collapse continues to rise\">missing persons report<\/a> with the Tempe Police Department on June 15, three days after League\u2019s flight had landed without him on board.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter also told the outlet that his brother may have been targeted for his expensive watch. The family said they found two unusual transactions from League\u2019s bank account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe basically found out that someone was using his debit card to get food and tried to pay their electric bill with it,\u201d Hunter told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez with the Maricopa County Sheriff\u2019s Office (MCSO) told the outlet that law enforcement would increase patrols of the area where League\u2019s body was found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate to hone in on this specific issue but, I mean, we\u2019re dealing with homelessness.
