Dariusz Pawel Swiader, 47, was shot and killed in Phoenix on November 2, 2022, after a dispute over a final paycheck and missing items from a company semi-truck. Swiader, who owned a trucking business, had met with employee 51-year-old Daniel Gordon Sr. outside an apartment complex near 43rd Avenue and McDowell Road to return Gordon’s belongings and settle the $2,000 paycheck that was being reduced by about $700 for the missing items.

Surveillance footage shows the men talking for roughly six minutes; as Swiader returned to his vehicle, Gordon allegedly pulled a gun and shot him multiple times. Swiader was found dead in his car with two gunshot wounds to the head. Gordon later admitted to the shooting, told police where the weapon was hidden, and was arrested on charges of second-degree murder and possession of a prohibited weapon. He reportedly claimed fear for his safety, but investigators said the video did not show Swiader being physically aggressive.
