Investigation abstract

At 11:30 p.m. on July 19, 2023, an employee was working as on-site security in a county park when he confronted a vehicle in the park after hours. An argument ensued and the vehicle driver pulled out a weapon and shot the employee in the head and left the scene. The employee was found by utility workers and was rushed to the hospital, where he died.
