He was returning to his car after his tour of duty when he was attacked from behind and killed with his own gun. The offender shot him multiple times, wounding him in his neck and chest. The offender was shot and wounded by police. The man accused of killing Soderberg is reported to have a lengthy rap sheet that includes nearly 20 arrests. Among those arrests are three felonies, 10 misdemeanors and three convictions. The arrests include several drug charges, and even an aggravated assault charge in 2006 for shooting his brother on July 4.
