Jacob Cadriel, 28, was shot and killed at his workplace, Woven Metals Products Inc., in Alvin, Texas, on April 1, 2015. According to witness accounts, an argument and physical altercation with a co-worker, Steven Damien Young, escalated when Young produced a .380 semi-automatic pistol and shot Cadriel once in the back. Cadriel was taken to Clear Lake Regional Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m.

Young was arrested and charged with murder. Reports say he had a history of violent behavior, including prior incidents involving a gun and coworkers. Family members later sued Woven Metals Products Inc., alleging the company failed to provide a safe workplace and ignored warnings about Young’s erratic behavior; a jury awarded more than $1 million to Cadriel’s family in 2017. Cadriel had served two extended tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and planned a future with his wife.

Does anyone have additional details about the workplace environment at Woven Metals or about Jacob’s military service that could help clarify what led up to that day?
