mr. thiels was shot and killed along with camille joseph "joey" giordano ii, by an alexandrian named john charles ashley. according to the police report [pdf] mr. ashley was at the giordano & giordano law office that day because he said that he wanted seven hundred dollars cash. the police report doesnt say why mr. ashley wanted seven hundred dollars cash. however, klax-tv reported that mr. ashley was "a disgruntled client of sixty year old camille giordano who had agreed to refund his fee to ashley, but ashley demanded cash apparently thats when ashley took out a handgun and started shooting..."
mr. thiels died that day simply because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time as was mr.
