The two men who died in a workplace shooting Monday at Vancouver’s Benjamin Moore Paints died of homicide and suicide, according to the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Ryan E. Momeny, 45, of Camas died Monday of multiple gunshot wounds, which the medical examiner’s office ruled a homicide.

Vancouver police were called to the warehouse, 1800 W. Fourth Plain Blvd., at 11:29 a.m. Monday for the reported shooting. Momeny, who worked as a logistics manager at the paint warehouse, was found lying outside the complex. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police quickly converged on a red 2001 Acura where they found a dead man, identified as Robert R. Brown, 64, a driver for the company.

Brown died of a gunshot wound to the head, a suicide, according to the medical examiner’s office.
