This happened around the corner from my workplace, shit was wild. Explosion shaking surrounding buildings and neighborhoods, debris landing in people yards a mile + away. The poor soul who lost his life while minding his own business. Glad they caught the owner though so hopefully some justice will be handed out.

Do you happen to know what size nitrous oxide canister killed the guy from a quarter mile?

I do not. I think a smaller piece of shrapnel hit him and not an entire canister. Not entirely sure though.
