Additional Elder Jipa Details 25 May 2005
Hi Everyone,
Today I spoke with the Stake President in Vienna about Elder Jipa and the circumstances in his passing away. Elder Jipa worked as a delivery driver to hotels of dairy products. He had all the keys to the hotels in order to make those deliveries. For several days prior to his death, he felt like people were following him, watching his routes. The day he died, he was out in his delivery truck and saw people following him and, fearing they were trying to jump him, started speeding in his truck. He then ran into several vehicles. The Vienna police then pulled him over to apprehend him. One pulled out a gun and he got scared and jumped from his truck. At that point, one of the officers shot him in the back and he died.

At the time he was the High Priest Group Leader in the Vienna 1st Ward. He had the Book of Mormon in the front seat of his truck when he was shot. The coverage by both television and newspapers focused on his innocence in the shooting and his being Mormon and having a wife and son. Currently, the officer that shot Elder Jipa is on trial for the action and the entire situation is under investigation in Vienna.

I will be in Vienna next week and plan on at least getting a condolences letter to Rodica, Elder Jipa's wife. If anyone would like me to get her anything, please contact me at bkjensen@gmail.com.
