On April 14, 2017, Michael Kuznik and Trina Tomola were killed at work. Joseph McAlpin entered the car dealership that Michael and Trina owned together and shot each of them in the head as they tried to get away. He also killed their dog. Then he stole cash and keys to some of the cars, which he and his waiting accomplices drove away from the scene. The victims' teenage son later found their bodies. According to a local politician, "I stood there on that Good Friday night as they carried out Mike and Trina... I saw what this individual did to them. The viciousness of the crime. He is a demonic killer." During the investigation, the police found Easter baskets for Michael and Trina's children in the back seat of their car.
