A northeast Iowa man staying in the Philippines to adopt a child is the victim in a deadly shooting.
Panay News reported that 57-year-old Erik Hendrickson of Cedar Falls was shot and killed Tuesday night in a bar. A police report says Hendrickson got into an argument with a man who followed him to a different table and shot him. A 40-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with murder and violating a gun law.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help Hendrickson’s family complete the adoption process, pay legal frees, funeral expenses and bring the boy back to the U.S.
