A mail carrier in Ohio was fatally shot in what authorities are deeming a “targeted attack” while inside his U.S. Postal Service van on Saturday.

The Warren Police Department in Warren, Ohio, responded to the incident around 1:44 p.m. on Saturday, March 2nd.

Upon arrival, officers discovered 33-year-old USPS employee Jonte Davis with a gunshot wound, having been shot while inside his USPS van by a suspect in another vehicle.

Despite the officers’ efforts to administer life-saving measures, Davis was transported to Trumbull Regional Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries, USA Today reported.

According to the Warren PD, the suspect’s vehicle was located in a driveway within a few hours of the incident, leading to the issuance of a search warrant for the vehicle and residence.

While no one is currently in custody, authorities believe that the victim and the suspect or suspects were acquainted. The USPS and FBI are collaborating with the Warren PD in the ongoing investigation.
