On June 3, 2021, 36-year-old Patrick M. DeLuca was shot and killed at Niagara Metals in Niagara Falls, New York. The shooting was carried out by a coworker, Matthew H. Figura, who fled the scene before police arrived.

The Niagara Falls Police Department investigated and arrested Figura. DeLuca left behind a young daughter; family and friends described his death as a sudden, senseless loss that left a void in their lives. Figura later pleaded guilty to murder, and on April 3, 2023, a judge sentenced him to 20 years to life in state prison.

Does anyone who worked at Niagara Metals or lived in the area at the time have information about what led up to the shooting?
