KETV<\/a> reports that 27-year-old Army Sergeant Kyle LaFlore was murdered while he was home on leave in Omaha, Nebraska from South Korea. His father says that he had also been deployed twice to Iraq and twice to Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Medics found the 27-year-old Army sergeant outside of Reign Lounge with a gunshot wound just before 2 Saturday morning and took him to an area hospital with CPR in progress.<\/p>\n

Police said LeFlore was pronounced dead at Nebraska Medicine from his injuries.<\/p>\n

LeFlore’s father, Kay LeFlore, told KETV NewsWatch 7 that he believes his son was walking to or from his car in the parking lot when somebody tried to rob him of his jewelry. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By all accounts, he was a good father and a good soldier;<\/p>\n

Kay [Kyle’s father] says Kyle was eager to finally spend some time with his 5-year-old son, Kyle Junior, or KJ.<\/p>\n

“He lived for his son, and when he got the chance to be here in time for Christmas to open packages and celebrate Christmas with his son, that was my best time I’ve ever had with him,” Kay said.<\/p>\n

LeFlore was also an accomplished wrestler, competing and winning in the Eighth Army Combatives tournament over the summer in Seoul.<\/p>\n

According to family, LeFlore was a dedicated father and husband, and was taking classes in hopes of one day working for the CIA or FBI.<\/p>\n

“If you knew him, you loved him,” sister Kandy LeFlore said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
