Michael William Dawid, a 35-year-old Caucasian male from Katy, Texas, tragically lost his life on May 4, 2016. He was born on December 9, 1980, and worked as a supervisor at Knight Transportation. Michael was known for his dedication and kindness, leaving behind a wife and a young son.
On the day of his death, a recently-fired employee named Marion Guy Williams, aged 65, entered the Knight Transportation office armed with a shotgun and a pistol.
Williams had been terminated earlier that morning and reportedly stated, "You ruined my life," before opening fire. Michael was fatally shot, and two other employees were injured by shrapnel. Williams then took his own life.
The incident was described as a retaliatory act by Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman. The families of both the victim and the suspect have spoken out, expressing their grief and shock over the tragic event. Michael's family remembers him as a wonderful husband, father, and friend who will be deeply missed.
The case did not lead to any further arrests or litigations, as the suspect died at the scene. The community continues to remember Michael Dawid for his positive impact and the loss felt by those who knew him.
