Former Navy SEAL and defense contractor Tim Martin was killed after being fatally shot by an acquaintance at a Tampa bar the night before.

According to police, Martin and Jeffrey Glenn, the co-owner of Soho Backyard Bar, got into a physical fight at the restaurant around 2:30 a.m. Sunday night. When Glenn pulled out a gun, Martin charged and was shot at close range. He was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds the following day.

A military veteran who served multiple combat tours, Martin devoted his post-military life to yoga and his four year-old son. The Navy SEAL was training to become a yoga instructor, and he hoped to use his newfound skills to help other military veterans recover from their combat wounds.

Martin also worked as an advisor in the award-winning film ‘Zero Dark Thirty,” and even appeared in the film in the role of a DEVGRU operator.

Tampa police had yet to press charges against Glenn.

“There’s a couple possibilities of why there might not be charges at this point,” police spokesman Steve Hergarty said. “There are some facts of the case that we still need to clarify. The other possibility is a self-defense situation, a stand your ground situation.”

It is always tragic when military veterans who risked their lives overseas are killed by the American’s they served to protect. Most recently, Iraq War veteran Ke’Arre Stewart ran into a Planned Parenthood clinic under fire from a gunmen in order to help people get cover.

Fair winds and following seas.
