George Patisso Jr., 27, of Bartow, Florida, was shot and killed at the Erie Manufacturing plant on December 3, 1997. He was working that evening alongside his brother-in-law Frank Dosso and business partner George Gonsalves when gunfire broke out; both Patisso and Frank Dosso died from gunshot wounds.

Investigators later identified former partner Nelson Serrano as the primary suspect. Serrano had been forced out of the company earlier that year, and the probe uncovered travel booked under aliases that placed him back in Florida despite an initial alibi placing him in Atlanta on the day of the killings.

The case remains notable for the alleged motive of revenge against former partners and for its impact on the victims’ families and the local community. Does anyone have memories of the plant, the people who worked there, or information that could add detail to what happened that night?
