Mar‑a‑Lago gunman Austin Tucker Martin was a painter, obsessed with drawing scenes from local golf courses

A 21‑year‑old North Carolina man who was shot and killed early on Sunday while attempting to enter the secure perimeter of US President Donald Trump’s Mar‑a‑Lago estate was known among friends and on social media for creating dark, moody watercolours and sketches of golf courses, according to the New York Post.

The man was identified by authorities as Austin Tucker Martin, who lived in Cameron, North Carolina and had been reported missing by his family days before the incident. US Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy shot him after he breached the inner security perimeter at Mar‑a‑Lago on Sunday morning.
