A blurry black-and-white photograph of DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's alleged killer, Nathan Gale, has been posted online.

Investigators in Columbus, Ohio say Gale, 25, had a hostage in a headlock when he was shot by a police officer. Police won't identify the hostage.

Dimebag's death shook the heavy metal music industry as colleagues reeled from the news and fans flooded web sites to share their grief.

PANTERA's manager Kim Zide-Davis, who worked with Abbott 1994 to 2003, was overwhelmed by the news of his death, according to CNN. She told the AP she often told the guitarist he was "a living cartoon character."

"He would do things that you wouldn't believe a real person was capable of," she said.

She said there was a sweet and caring side of Abbott that many people never saw.

"Everything you saw from him was real. That was who he was," she said. "He lived and unfortunately died by his guitar. What you saw on stage was his enjoyment."
