The Daily Mail reported:
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith, 26, passed away in hospital at 2.17am on Saturday, the Navy confirmed.

Smith, an Ohio native, was commemorated by Ohio Gov. John Kasich:
The murders in Chattanooga have claimed another victim, & Ohio has lost another hero. Prayers for Randall Smith of Paulding Co & his family.

Many who responded blamed President Barack Obama for his relaxed immigration policies and his campaign of “leading from behind” in the Middle East.
