On February 1, 2018, Keith Kitchen, 60, was shot dead while at work at BSD Linehaul Inc. in Michigan. Kitchen's accused murderer then reportedly stole a truck and went to a second location where he killed a second man Eriberto Perez, 58.

The alleged gunman is a former co-worker of Kitchen's. He had been arrested on November 24, 2017 after reportedly pulling a gun on Kitchen and two other employees. According to the police report, the man yelled: “I’ll kill you” and racked a bullet into the gun’s chamber.

At the time of the February 1st murders, the alleged gunman was free on bond pending a March trial for charges stemming from the 2017 workplace incident, including a felony firearm charge.

Media reports indicate the accused worked for BSD Linehaul, Inc. for a short period of time and was reportedly demanding more money than he had been paid.
