The Epoch Times A security guard died from wounds he suffered while trying to protect a news crew in California, authorities said Saturday.
Kevin Nishita, an ex-police officer who worked as an armed guard for the Star Protection Agency, was helping guard a KRON-TV crew on Wednesday in Oakland when somebody tried stealing the crew’s camera equipment.
Nishita was shot in the lower abdomen and rushed to the hospital.
He died early Saturday, the Oakland Police Department.
“We are devastated by the loss of security guard and our friend,” Jim Rose, KRON-TV’s vice president and general manager, said in a statement.
“This senseless loss of life is due to yet another violent criminal act in the Bay Area. We hope that offering a reward will help lead to the arrest of those responsible so they can face justice for this terrible tragedy,” he added.
