Kerry O’Toole, a 53-year-old self-employed carpenter and Harley Davidson enthusiast from San Antonio, Texas, was killed at his Stone Oak home on November 7, 2015. Friends and family described him as well-loved, and his death left a significant void.

The shooter was identified as 35-year-old Richard Luis Amezquita, a door-to-door salesman for Vivint who had been calling on O’Toole that day. Amezquita said O’Toole attacked him and that he shot in self-defense, but a jury rejected that claim and found Amezquita guilty of murder. He was later sentenced to 60 years in prison. O’Toole’s family also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Amezquita and the companies that employed him; family members made emotional statements during the legal proceedings.

The case raised questions about the risks of door-to-door sales and employer screening and training practices.
