2022 - 18: Murder in Kitchen One

Chef Dan Brophy arrived for work at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon, early on Saturday, June 2, 2018.

The Culinary Institute, also referred to as OCI, was both a school and a restaurant. That Saturday was a test day for students and as a chef and teacher there, Dan had much to prepare.

But just minutes after he got to work, Dan Brophy was shot in the back in Kitchen One. About ten minutes later, a colleague found Dan lying on his back in front of a large kitchen sink. A student called 911.

EMTs soon arrived and pronounced Dan Brophy dead. He was 63. Josh Mankiewicz reports.
