On November 11, 2016, 20-year-old Riley Holden Sass-Loken was shot in the head at a party in a Winona, Minnesota, apartment and later died of his injuries at Gundersen Health System in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The case description says friends were drinking that night and a pistol was brought to the gathering. Lucas R. Schultz, also 20 and a former varsity hockey teammate of Riley’s, pointed the gun at Riley’s face and pulled the trigger. Riley was transported to the hospital and died after several days.

Authorities determined the shooting was not intentional. Investigators found Schultz’s blood alcohol content was well over the legal limit and that he was underage. Schultz was initially arrested and released after questioning; he was later charged by summons with second-degree manslaughter based on the evidence that the death resulted from an unintentional act. Riley was remembered as a 2014 Winona Senior High School graduate who enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing and hockey and had been planning a career in law enforcement.

Did anyone in Winona or the area know Riley or have information about that night that could add detail to the timeline?
