I was the leasing agent at the apartment complex where it occurred. I was the first civilian responder, and there isn’t a single day that goes by that I don’t think of him. I just want closure and justice for his family. I don’t want to be disrespectful by sharing the details of that morning, but please if anyone knows what happened to the girl that pulled the trigger, please, come forward.

That must have been a horrific day. I hope there is closure for his family someday.
