Anaheim Man Slain Execution-Style in Georgia Restaurant
An Anaheim accountant was killed execution-style as he sat in the bar of a crowded Savannah, Ga., restaurant, authorities said.
Jon Berry Bragg, 52, died after being shot once at close range by an unidentified assailant, Savannah Police Officer Joseph Hill said. The bullet entered behind Bragg’s ear, he said.
According to police, the gunman walked into Bennigan’s restaurant, approached Bragg from behind and fired a small-caliber pistol at his head.
The gunman then ran out of the restaurant, Hill said.
Police have identified no motive or suspects. Investigators, however, are looking into the possibility that the shooting was by a professional killer.
A Bennigan’s spokesman declined comment, but police said restaurant employees told them Bragg was a regular customer. Hill said Bragg was a native of Savannah.
“He apparently commuted between here and California frequently,” Hill said.
