2 Lauren Kanarek tried to defame Michael Barisone on social media

When Kanarek failed to get Barisone to train her the way she wanted to be trained, she started used social media platforms to defame him. Not only did she use harsh adjectives against him, but she also made sure that they were hurtful enough to a large extent, using words like "racist", "homophobic," and "antisemitic" against the ex-Olympian. In another post, just a month before she was shot, Kanarek had said: "It's about time to possibly go to war. Anyone who repeatedly kicks a resting beast will eventually wake her up!"

3 Michael Barisone tried to inform the police that his life was in danger

In the days ahead of the shooting, Barisone called 911 to complain about the accusations and the allegations hurled against him on social media.
