Landlord and taxidermist Leger had filed a complaint against destructive tenants, and in return received death threats. Police investigating a report that he'd filed a .22 rifle at one tenant found Leger -- according to their narrative -- leveling the same rifle at them. He was shot to death. Witnesses disputed police accounts; the police confiscated private video of the event.
