When officers got to the scene, Korwek ran up to them saying he had shot Dickinson. Officers immediately tried to give Dickinson medical aid and summoned fire officials, but Dickinson was declared dead on the driveway of the home.

During their investigation, officers learned that Korwek was prohibited to possess a firearm because he had a previous felony conviction.
