The shooting happened Saturday at a country club in Kennesaw, Georgia.
(CNN)Police are looking for the person who shot and killed pro golfer Gene Siller at a country club north of Atlanta on Saturday.

Cobb County police responded to a report of a person shot around 2:20 p.m. and found Siller on the green of the 10th hole of the Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, according to a news release from the police department.
Siller, who was a club employee, was found unresponsive with an "apparent gunshot wound to the head" and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The suspect had driven to the green in a white Ram 3500 pickup truck and shot 41-year-old Siller when he went to see what was going on, a member of the club told CNN affiliate WXIA. The suspect then fled, WXIA reported.

A golf pro at a suburban Atlanta country club was shot and killed on Saturday by a man who drove onto the golf course in a pickup truck bearing the bodies of two other men in the bed of the vehicle, the police said.

The golf pro was identified by several golf organizations as Gene Siller, who was in his 40s. One of the victims found dead in the truck’s bed was identified as Paul Pierson, who was the registered owner of the white RAM 3500 pickup truck, the Cobb County Police Department said in a statement on Sunday. The third victim has not been identified as of Sunday evening.

Both men found in the pickup truck’s bed had died of gunshot wounds, the police said.

The suspect has not been apprehended or identified, and investigators are still trying to determine a motive, said the Cobb County Police Department, which is investigating the shooting.
