A witness then exchanged gunfire with Craiger, police said in a press release. Another witness “was able to approach the suspect from behind and strike him in the head with a blunt object.”

The victim, whose identity police have not released, was transported to Halifax Medical Center and pronounced dead.

The suspect sustained multiple gunshot wounds, as well as a laceration to the head. He was also taken to Halifax Medical Center. Craiger has been charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder.

To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion.
