Nephew was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the same location, according to police.
Before the tragedy, Nephew had used his Facebook account to express political and personal grievances, often criticizing President Donald Trump. In one post from July, he shared his struggles with mental health, stating, “My mental health and the world can no longer peacefully coexist, and a lot of the reason is religion. I am terrified of religious zealots inflicting their misguided beliefs on me and my family.”
Nephew’s social media activity also revealed concerns about religious extremism and political issues. He expressed fear that he or his family were being seen as symbols of evil, writing, “Having people actually believe that I or my child are Satan or, the anti-Christ or whatever their favorite color of boogie man they are afraid of this week.”
