They made a habit of welcoming strangers\u2014it&#8217;s how they had all met one another in the first place. They had almost finished with the invitations when Jeremy Martin, 26, spotted a hulking, solitary figure.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;Go ask him,&#8221; Jeremy said to his best friend, Anthony Moulton.<\/p>\n<p>  Another person who lived at the home, 24-year-old Jesiah Martin (no relation to Jeremy), remembers having seen the man that night\u2014conspicuous not just for his 6&#8217;5&#8243; 280-pound frame but for the fact that he wasn&#8217;t dressed up or dancing. &#8220;He was by himself mostly, fly on the wall style,&#8221; said Jesiah.<\/p>\n<p>  Anthony, who is disarmingly goofy in the way of most in their group, approached the man and said, &#8220;Do you know the difference between Scotch and beer?&#8221; Most at the party were drinking beer, but Anthony handed the man a flask full of Macallan. The man took a swig and grimaced. But he liked it. He even smiled, leading Anthony to say, &#8220;Hey, what are you doing after this? We have half a keg at our place\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  And that is how Kyle Huff came to visit the house on East Republican Street.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve mentioned before that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestranger.com\/\" title=\"The Stranger\">The Stranger<\/a> has been consistently doing the best reporting on the Capitol Hill shooting.
