Photon - Failed to 'network-remove' GameObject"

Failed to 'network-remove' GameObject. Client is neither owner nor masterClient taking over for owner who left: View (0)2001 on Player(Clone)

This is the error I repeatedly get. I'm using quill18creates Multiplayer FPS tutorial as a reference here. This occurs when the client who creates a game attempts to kill another player object. This does not occur (and works as desired) when a player kills another player who spawned BEFORE them.

This is some relevant code from my PlayerShooting script:

 if (h != null) {
     PhotonView pv = h.GetComponent<PhotonView> ();
     if (pv == null) {
         Debug.LogError("Object has no NetworkView attached");
     } else {
         pv.RPC ("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.All, damage);
     }    
 }

And from my Health script:

 [PunRPC]
 public void TakeDamage (float dmg) {
     currentHealth -= dmg; // Health reduced by damage dealt
        
     if (currentHealth <= 0) {
         Die ();
     }
 }
    
 void Die () {
     if (GetComponent<PhotonView> ().instantiationId == 0) {
         Destroy (gameObject);
     } else {
         if (PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient) {
             PhotonNetwork.Destroy (this.gameObject);
         }
     }
 }

I've spent all morning trying to resolve this and have done various things such as: Checking if photonView.isMine and destroying it locally, otherwise calling PhotonNetwork.Destroy(); Calling an RPC on my Die method directly to no avail . . . Every single response to this question from my Google research is something along the lines of "Only the owner can Destroy a GameObject. The owner is the user who instantiated it. Alternatively, the Master Client has that right, too."

I get this concept but I have no idea how to implement a fix. In quill18's tutorial series this simply just works and; in my mind, makes complete sense. I'm just at a loss of what can be done to fix this issue.

Thanks ahead. Any help at all is appreciated.
