The first victim killed Thursday was identified by authorities as Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist who worked on the high-profile investigation into the killing of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, a beauty pageant star who was found dead at her family's home in Boulder, Colorado. Ramsey's murder, which remains unsolved, attracted national attention. A prosecutor cleared her parents and brother in 2008 based on DNA evidence.

Pitt was killed Thursday outside his office, police said. Besides the JonBenet Ramsey case, he also worked on the "Baseline Killer" serial murder case in the early 2000s, FOX 10 reported.

Witnesses questioned after the Pitt's killing said they heard arguments preceding loud gunshots, describing the suspect as an “adult male, bald and wearing a dark-colored hat with a short brim.”
