Troy Lynn Mabbitt, 49, was shot on March 18, 2018, in north Casper, Wyoming, and later died at Wyoming Medical Center. Casper police were dispatched about 2:25 p.m. to the 1100 block of Burlington; officers found a man with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead in the emergency room. Authorities said there was no ongoing threat to the public while the scene became the focus of an active investigation.

Police described the incident as involving multiple people rather than a simple one-on-one confrontation. Two other people were briefly taken into custody on the day of the shooting and later released. By March 20, investigators said they knew the shooter’s identity and whereabouts but the shooter had not been arrested; police did not explain why. Mabbitt’s obituary remembered him as a husband, father, brother, and friend.

If anyone was in the 1100 block of Burlington that afternoon or saw people or vehicles leaving the area, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
