Andrew Combs was 21 and from the Milo-Grogan neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. He was described by loved ones as kind and funny and was weeks away from becoming a father in December 2022 when his girlfriend, Victoria Perez, was pregnant with their child.

Just before midnight on December 13, 2022, Andrew and his girlfriend stopped at a Sunoco on West Broad Street after finishing their Christmas shopping. Police say Andrew was shot while trying to intervene to help a friend who was being robbed; at least three masked individuals were reportedly involved. He was struck at least four times and taken to Grant Medical Center, where he died shortly after arriving.

Authorities arrested several people in the investigation, including David Johnson III a week after the shooting, and two teenagers, 16-year-old Dreyton Johnson and 17-year-old William Armstead Jr., who were charged with delinquency counts. Andrew’s family has spoken publicly about their grief, and his mother, Deborah Combs, said she will never hear him say I love you again.

Does anyone who shopped or worked along West Broad Street on December 13 remember the incident or those involved?
