At the time of the incident, the motive for the shooting was unclear to investigators. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department began an investigation into his death, but initial reports indicated that it was not known if Erickson had any connection to his killer. In the days following the shooting, no arrests were made, and no suspects were publicly identified.
