I just found this #Stenger arrived in a friend’s car and was dropped off across the street. As Stenger crossed the street toward his apartment, he was shot and killed. The shooting was partially captured on surveillance video from cameras on a nearby building.

Tons of conspiracy theories about recently deceased Senate Sargeant at Arms on January 6th, Michael Stenger. There’s no indication he was due to testify, and reports about him shot from a moving car seem to be mixed up with another Michael Stenger, shot in 2013. pic.twitter.com/2QYjQ3ZDi7
