CLINTON, Iowa — A 42-year-old man is dead after being shot on New Year's morning in Clinton, according to a police news release.

Shortly after 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, police responded to a shooting at 420 Glenwood Place, where they found 42-year-old Randy R. Weimerskirch with a gunshot wound. 

He was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Three individuals have been arrested in connection to the killing.

News 8 spoke with Stephanie Hagen, a friend of Weimerskirch, and she said he was a jack of all trades. 

"He loved to help go around and fix people's houses," Hagen said. "He was always painting, doing drywall, sheetrock, electrical work."

Hagen shared her reaction when she heard the news with News 8.

"I panicked, I actually didn't believe it was true."

At this time, there are no related threats to the community. Investigation into this incident continues by the Clinton Police Department.
