Authorities say a 35-year-old suspect produced a pistol and shot a 67-year-old victim. The victim, identified as Odyssus Henry, died at the scene.



Employees tell FOX6 News, the victim was done with his shift from the night prior and came back to the facility to retrieve something he left behind when the suspect who was on duty shot him during an argument.



"The man that has been taken from us, was a man's man. Other men respect him, look up to him, grew up behind him," said Jordan.



Loved ones are now mourning a man who was known for his leadership, sense of caring and work ethic.



"There for years, he has a military background. He's just an all-around positive role model to look up to," Jordan said.



Family and friends say it was a tragic end to a situation that didn't have to escalate to gunfire.






"We as people, all people no matter what race here that live in the inner city, we all just need to think before we make that life-changing decision. Just think," said Jordan.
