On the morning of November 15, 2019, 36-year-old Carl Hellinger was shot and killed at his workplace on Boberg Road in Wilsonville, Oregon. Hellinger, a chef and manager at Heritage Specialty Foods, was in his office when a former employee returned to the facility armed with a handgun and fired multiple rounds, fatally wounding him. First responders arrived but Hellinger was pronounced dead at the scene. Colleagues described him as a loved, respected and diligent manager.

The suspect, identified as 25-year-old Camilo Santiago-Santiago of Woodburn, reportedly fled south in a red sedan. A Marion County deputy located the vehicle and a pursuit ended in a standoff behind the Woodburn Premium Outlets on Woodland Avenue. The standoff, which involved Clackamas and Marion County SWAT teams, lasted about an hour; the suspect reportedly urged officers to shoot him, then surrendered with his hands raised at approximately 9:30 a.m. He was booked into the Clackamas County Jail and charged with second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm, held without bail.

Are there details about Hellinger’s final day or his work at Heritage Specialty Foods that anyone can share to help fill out the timeline?
