A workplace dispute over lateness ended in gunfire outside a Pontiac home. Daniel Leroy Brotemarkle, 25, was shot multiple times and found unresponsive in the road outside his residence on Woodland Drive on June 27, 2022. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Several 9mm shell casings were recovered at the scene.

The confrontation began at a dock installation company where Brotemarkle and his 27-year-old supervisor, Nathanial Marceal Ebarra, argued verbally and physically. Both men were sent home; Brotemarkle left in a company vehicle with the owner’s permission. Ebarra and other co-workers later went to Brotemarkle’s home to retrieve the truck, and a second confrontation occurred that culminated in the shooting. Ebarra was arrested at his Pontiac residence within an hour and initially charged with carrying a concealed weapon; a second-degree murder charge was added after further investigation. He was held without bond and a preliminary exam was set for September 8, 2022.

Did anyone in the community witness the confrontation outside Woodland Drive or have information about what happened that afternoon?
