"It just sounded like four or five gunshots, but we kind of brushed it off because this is a mechanic area," a witness said. "We did not realize anything, and then came out to ask my boss something and then we noticed all of the cop cars."
Officers who responded to the scene rendered aid to the victim, who was brought to Memorial Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Family members and people who work nearby identified the victim as Michael Fletcher, also known as "Flex."
