The man wanted for the fatal shooting of a co-worker at a Lexington middle school Tuesday morning turned himself in to police in Missouri Wednesday afternoon.
Brian Allen McGuire, 27, (right) of Lexington, is suspected of killing Jose Daniel Donato, 38, (below) a fellow custodian at Leestown Middle School. The shooting happened at around 8 a.m. Tuesday inside the school, located on Leestown Road near New Circle Road. Police said there were no students in the school at the time of the shooting.
Lexington Police say McGuire called local police from a pay phone in Grain Valley, Missouri, which is near Kansas City. He was then arrested at about 2:15 p.m. EST. He is currently being held in the Jackson County, Missouri Detention Center. There is also no word on when McGuire will be returned to Lexington.
School officials and police confirmed that the school system had recently become aware of tension reported between McGuire and Donato prior to the shooting incident.
McGuire has worked for Fayette County schools since 2004, and Donato had been with the school system since February 2008.
