Authorities did not take long to track down the suspects. It was revealed through initial investigations that the conflict stemmed from a professional misunderstanding. One of the suspects reportedly punched Rex repeatedly, accusing him of being a "snitch." They believed Rex was the reason why another one of their coworkers was fired, as they suspected he had reported their colleague to their employer.

The violence escalated when a second suspect joined in on the beating. Other coworkers present at the scene reportedly heard gunshots, indicating that the physical assault had turned fatal. To ensure their silence, the suspects allegedly turned their weapons on the witnesses, threatening them if they dared to report the incident to the police.
