A Monroe County Sheriff's Office report said Dukeshire, who is known by friends and family as "Seahag," asked Mazur "Do you have a cold beer for me?" He reportedly replied, "I have absolutely nothing for you."

Dukeshire then shot Mazur five times -- twice in the lower right abdomen, twice in the back and once in the right wrist, investigators said.
