A domestic dispute in Gardnerville, Nevada on October 13, 2015, ended with the death of 50-year-old Michelle Kozlowski. His younger brother, Joseph, tried to calm things and persuaded Jarek to go outside. A fight between the two brothers followed; Jarek reportedly regained the weapon, aimed it at Joseph who ran away, and then shot Michelle in the street.

Deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrived around 1:24 a.m. after reports of a domestic disturbance and shots fired and found Michelle’s body. As officers approached, Jarek opened fire from the doorway; deputies returned fire, wounding him. Jarek fled over a back fence, was pursued, and taken into custody with serious injuries. He was treated at a hospital and died on October 17, 2015; authorities reported his death was from respiratory failure and not directly from the wounds sustained in the shootout. No deputies were injured. The Carson City Sheriff’s Office was involved in the investigation.
