Two cell site electricians shot to death while performing an AT&T upgrade in Florida
In Featured News by Wireless Estimator June 18, 2020
The bodies of two electricians were found early this morning inside an AT&T equipment shelter at a monopole site in Jacksonville, Florida, Jacksonville Sheriffs Sgt. Steve Rudlaff of the homicide division said in a press briefing this morning.

Two electricians were shot to death while working inside an AT&T shelter located on a Crown Castle-owned site. The monopole is located at a busy intersection opposite a Family Dollar store where an armed robbery occurred on Tuesday.
The men, according to authorities, were shot multiple times and investigators have initially ruled out that it was combat against each other.
They are currently looking at the possibly of a robbery or other reasons why the men were killed at the Crown Castle 100-foot tower site located off of Firestone Rd. just west of I-295.
The electricians, both white and between 30 to 40 years old, were declared dead by Jacksonville Fire Department paramedics.
The names of the workers and their employer are not being released at this time, a Sheriffs spokesperson said this afternoon.

Anyone with information on the shooting can contact the Sheriffs Office at (904) 630-0500 or leave an anonymous tip and be eligible for a possible reward by calling First Coast Crime Stoppers at (866) 845-8477 (TIPS).
