Born [[July 24]], [[1987]], Hall attended [[Milton High School]] and graduated in [[2005]].{{date uncertain}}
On [[June 24]], [[20072006]], Hall was a guest at a party also attended by 16-year-old [[Samantha Sparling]] and her 20-year-old boyfriend [[Brandon Ward]]. According to witnesses, Ward participated in wrestling games with other attendees; shortly thereafter, he found Sparling engaged in a sex act with one of the party's hosts, [[Nick Cote]]. Sparling told others at the party that Ward had struck her, and he was forced to leave the party. (She later testified that this was a fabrication to conceal her embarrassment.)
After being comforted by partygoers, Hall offered to escort her home with his friend [[Joseph Ruinato]] and another girl. When they arrived at Sparling's [[Munson Highway]] house in the early morning hours of [[June 25]], Ward was already present. An altercation ensued, and Ward stabbed both Hall and Ruinato three times with a butterfly knife. Ruinato was taken to a hospital by [[Baptist Life Flight]], but Hall died on the scene of the injuries.
