A pro golfer who was fatally shot on a country club golf course in Georgia, near where two other men were found dead in the bed of a pickup truck, had witnessed a crime before he was killed, authorities said Tuesday.
The body of Gene Siller, an employee at the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw — about 30 miles northwest of Atlanta — was found with an apparent gunshot wound to his head on the green of the 10th hole at about 2:20 p.m. Saturday, Cobb County police said.
Police also discovered a Ram 3500 pickup truck on the green that contained the bodies of two men, one of whom was identified as Paul Pierson, the truck’s registered owner. A third deceased man had not been identified. They had died from gunshots and were found in the truck bed, police said.
Siller was killed after seeing a crime involving the two other men, police said in a statement.
“Mr. Siller happened upon a crime in progress involving the unknown suspect and the two deceased males who were found in the pickup truck,” the statement said. “It does not appear he was in any way targeted, but rather was killed because he witnessed an active crime taking place.”
