Authorities in Georgia are searching for suspects in the shooting death of a gun enthusiast and weapons expert who managed a popular YouTube channel showcasing high-powered guns and explosives.
Keith Ratliff, 32, who helped operate FPSRussia firearms channel on YouTube, was found dead inside his Carnesville, Ga., office on Jan. 3 from a single gunshot wound to the head.
The man's death is being investigated as a homicide, Mike Ayers of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed to FoxNews.com.
"He [Ratliff] did sustain a gunshot wound that was not self-inflicted," Ayers said, adding that "robbery does not appear to be the motive."
Ayers said authorities have identified the caliber of the weapon used in the killing, but declined to elaborate further. He said Ratliff's office, which is attached to his home, was used to operate the YouTube channel as well as manufacture suppressors, noise-reduction devices for guns that are commonly referred to as "silencers."

How sad! I hope they catch the perps. Could the motive be assasination?
Is the Pope Catholic?
“FPSRussia is the tenth most-viewed channel on YouTube”
hmmm....
Ya think? Now the left is using assassination to implement their gun grabbing schemes. Bank on that.
Have police interviewed the guns yet?
They could have assaulted him!
Guns did it.
[/sarc - do I really have to have this tag?]
Anti-gunners taking out 2nd amendment advocates by shooting them with...GUNS! Kinda like screwing for virginity. Effing hypocrisy!
of course...if it was an assassination, nobody will ever find out who did it unless the assassin himself tells us. The interesting part would be who was paying him.
popular/famous enough this guy has his own picture memes.
I think it’s time for the strategy I’ve been thinking about:
Piss off a gun grabbing liberal: Shoot back!
George Soros comes to mind.
My whole family enjoys FPSRussia. It’s fun and fantastic.
Another innocent casualty of the growing war on the 2nd Amendment?
I wonder how big a check Soros had to write for that hit.
The Dirty War begins...
Hickok45 and Nutnfancy should watch their six. Though I’m sure they know that more than I.
Dead men tell no tales.
The interesting part would be who was paying him.
The same guy that will pay the guy who silences the first assassin when he's no longer useful...
