Sean Bert Gallagher was 23 when he was killed on July 15, 2008, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Born July 20, 1984, in Brooklyn, New York, he worked as a server at The Olive Garden and was active in Immanuel Baptist Church. He is survived by his wife, Heather Ratledge Gallagher, and children Kayley Gallagher, Alyson Goodman, and Matthew Ratledge.

On the night of July 15, 2008, Sean and his coworker Lori Fioravanti, 24, were shot in a double homicide. John K. Gallaher III, 24, a childhood friend with a history of alcohol abuse, called Sean that day intoxicated and Sean rode with Lori to Gallaher’s residence. After helping Gallaher inside, Sean and Lori waited in the living room.

Gallaher reportedly called his father to confess and then contacted police; he was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. No clear motive was identified. Did anyone who knew Sean or his circle notice changes in Gallaher’s behavior before July 15, 2008?
