In the pre-dawn hours of 3 September 2007, Albrecht was shot and killed by his girlfriend's neighbor. After having some drinks with his girlfriend Ryann Rathborne at a Dallas bar, Albrecht became intoxicated. Rathborne drove him to her house, and they both took a dose of Chantix (a drug to break nicotine addiction). A short while later, Albrecht began speaking incoherently, broke a drinking glass on a table, and hit Rathborne several times, something he had never done before. She ran outside, and Albrecht followed. Rathborne re-entered her home and locked the doors behind her. Albrecht yelled and pounded on her front door in an unsuccessful attempt to reenter her house.

At this point, Albrecht went into Rathborne's neighbor's backyard, and he and his wife were awakened by the loud pounding and yelling at their back door. Albrecht was told to stop, but he did not; Rathborne's neighbor then says he fired a "warning shot" through the door. The door was made of thick, opaque glass, and the porch was well lit. The shot hit the 6' 5" Albrecht in the head, and he died at the scene. No charges were filed. The autopsy report indicated Albrecht had a blood alcohol content of 0.29 g/dl (grams/deciliter), more than three times the legal driving limit in Texas of 0.08 g/dl, when he was shot.

People close to Albrecht state that his actions prior to the shooting were atypical, even after having had too much to drink, and that his behavior may have been affected by his use of the prescription drug Chantix, which he was taking to help him stop smoking. 
Addiction expert Dr. Bryon Adinoff considers that the interaction of Chantix with the alcohol he consumed that evening might have been a factor

>> Trigger-happy neighbor was identified afterwards as Bill Logg. 
Hearing the noise, he brought a handgun downstairs, told Albrecht to go away and fired one shot through the shut door, striking Albrecht in the head and killing him.

Now, Will Logg, as he calls himself in campaign materials, is running for Dallas City Council. Logg is one of four five candidates vying for District 9, encompassing Lakewood. He's incredibly unlikely to win, but the fact that he's able to run for public office is a quirk of American gun laws and Texas politics. <<
