In the quiet town of Ogden, Kansas, the life of 20-year-old Milton Alexander Barrera, a male Private First Class in the U.S. Army, came to a tragic end on December 20, 2014. On that Saturday evening, emergency services were called to Ogden's Best Gun Range following a report of a shooting incident. Inside, they found Barrera had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.
Initial investigations by the Riley County Police Department led them to believe that the shooting was not accidental.
Reports from law enforcement at the time indicated that they suspected his death was a suicide. Barrera had reportedly rented a shooting lane at the range shortly before the incident occurred. To determine the precise cause and manner of death, authorities requested an autopsy.
In the days that followed, the focus of the investigation remained on the possibility of suicide, and there was no indication of foul play from police. Consequently, there were no reports of any arrests being made in connection with the death of Milton Alexander Barrera, and no suspects were ever identified or sought. The public was assured that there was no ongoing danger related to the incident at the gun range.
