Davon O'Keith Wiley was a member of the U.S. Army Reserve and a father of two who held three jobs to make ends meet. He was always working, family members said, so it's inexplicable as to why he was outside the Eagan warehouse where he was fatally shot early Monday.
It's one of the questions Eagan police are trying to answer, too, as they continue to investigate the deadly shooting that occurred just after midnight in a parking lot in the 900 block of Aldrin Drive.
On Friday, police identified Young Matthew Vang as the security guard who killed Wiley.
Both men worked for Mill City Protective Agency, but Wiley was not on duty at the time of the shooting.
The agency was hired by Operation Christmas Child to provide security at the facility, which is being used by Samaritan's Purse International Relief to process boxes packed with gifts for needy children overseas.
According to police, Vang was on duty as a security officer overnight Monday when Wiley approached and assaulted him during an attempted robbery. Wiley, who was not working at the time, was wearing a mask and was armed, police said. Vang then fired multiple shots, killing Wiley.
Few other details have been released.
It was not immediately clear if Wiley and Vang knew each other or if charges would result, but the security company has retained the services of an Anoka law firm.
