“Neither the DailyMail nor I said that, either.”

Yes they did structure the sentence in question the same way.

Shooting dead him.

Shooting dead golf pro Gene Siller.

However, we still don’t know the reason for the killings.

FTA: "Gene Siller, 46, was shot in the head (...) after 'witnessing an active crime' unfolding."

Well, we know the reason Siller got killed. Wrong time, wrong place. Leave no witnesses.

Incorrect. “Gene Stiller” is a noun. “Him” is a pronoun. That’s why it’s done differently.

Idiomatic expressions are exceptions to many rules. For instance, you would say, “They beat him up” but not “they beat up him.” Or, that car looks beat up,” but not “that beat up car looks,” Idioms require precise knowledge of a language. They’re always challenging in a foreign language class.

Lol.

Either way works.

The way they wrote it allows a joke like mine.

I’m amazed how seriously people haven taken a tongue in cheek comment.

You ALSO have the “BIG CHICKEN”! That should settle my bonifide’s. I have seen it first hand. While I lived there... I lived in the Post Apartments complex, I think it was called “Post Village” by the clock tower south of Dobbins AFB. Good luck to you! Days gone by huh?

I know, right? Digital comms doesn't transmit drollery as well as body language does. Ergo, the emoji industry is flourishing!

We lived in the older apartments just up the hill from the Post apartments when I got of the Air Force.   That was before the Post apartments had been built.   I never thought to question your bona fides.   I was only seconding what you had said.
