Makowski was responding to a man walking around with a gun, while arguing
with garbage workers on the intersection of Joy and Beech Daly Roads.

While attempting to take cover behind a neighbors house Makowski was shot.

I am so glad that you came into Starbucks (where I work) to bring me food right before you got the call to go to
scene of the gunman. Little did either of us know that those would be our last moments together. But just as we always
did, we left each other saying the proper goodbye. You said "I'm sorry this asshole is ruining our date, I love you," and
gave me a kiss.
I said "I love you... be careful."- Lizzy Girlfriend
