Christopher Rusk Sluder, 50, was killed at his workplace, Turtle Mountain Pork in Souris, North Dakota, on March 24, 2015. Sluder had moved to Bottineau in September 2014 to become the facility manager. A verbal dispute the day before, March 23, involved Sluder, another employee named Brian Story, and several workers including Jeremy Isaac Rodriguez Rios.

On the morning of March 24 at 8:17 a.m., Bottineau County dispatch received calls reporting unconscious employees. Deputies found Sluder dead on a walkway between pig pens in a barn and Story dead in a hallway connecting the barns, both from gunshot wounds. Investigators recovered 9mm Winchester Luger spent casings near Story. Colleagues said Rios had posted a photo of a black handgun online days earlier; a search of his apartment turned up a 9mm case and a partial box of Winchester 9mm ammunition. Rios allegedly confessed to shooting both men and told investigators he threw the pistol into the hog sewage pit beneath the barns. He was arrested and charged with two counts of murder.

Does anyone have information about the dispute at the plant or saw anything unusual at Turtle Mountain Pork in the days before March 24, 2015?
