Ronnie Briggs was 27 when he was shot and killed outside the Showcase Bar & Grille in Garfield Heights, Ohio, on the morning of September 25, 2022. Family described him as a father of two, including a newborn, a hard worker and co-owner of the bar. During an altercation outside the crowded establishment, shots were fired and Ronnie was struck; he was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 32-year-old Travis Hicks of Shaker Heights as a suspect. Hicks was arrested March 9, 2023, by U.S. Marshals at an apartment in Cleveland. A Cuyahoga County grand jury indicted Hicks on March 28, 2023, on aggravated murder, two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, weapons under disability counts, and a firearms discharge charge; several counts carried gun specifications. He pleaded not guilty at his March 31, 2023, arraignment and bond was set at $1 million.

Ronnie’s mother, Monica, spoke about the family’s pain and said the bond amount would keep the accused from getting out but was not enough for her son. Does anyone have information about Ronnie, the night at the bar, or the events that led to the shooting?
