A second victim of Saturday’s shooting at a South Florida gym died of his injuries, authorities said Sunday.
(FOX)- Marios Hortis, 42, was one of two people shot by 33-year-old Abeku Wilson, who had been let go as a trainer Saturday at the Equinox gym in Coral Gables “due to workplace violence and was escorted off the premises.”
Investigators say Wilson returned to the gym with a handgun and fired multiple shots at Hortis and 35-year-old Janine Ackerman, the facility’s general manager, before fatally shooting himself. Ackerman was pronounced dead Saturday.
Police did not elaborate on what the “workplace violence” by Wilson involved.
Equinox issued an email statement Sunday that it was “deeply saddened” by the deaths of its two employees.
“Our love, prayers and condolences are with both families during this terrible time. The collective Equinox community will always keep Janine and Marios in our hearts,” the statement said.
Marc Sarnoff, who previously trained with Wilson for two years, saw him at the gym before Saturday’s shooting and noticed something was wrong.
