Eric Timothy Ham, a 40-year-old man from Toledo, Ohio, was shot at least once and died on September 10, 2022, inside the home of 38-year-old Adam Links. Links was arrested at the scene and later indicted on counts including aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, murder, felonious assault, and abuse of a corpse. Court documents say Links told authorities he mistook Eric for an intruder and fired an AK style weapon; prosecutors say Links lured Eric to his home intending to rob him for flashy jewelry and a wristwatch.

Eric was remembered by family and the community for his love of fashion, passion for wrestling in school, and a big, playful heart. His survivors include his father Carl Ham Sr., sisters Terrina White, Anita Birchfield and twin sister Erica Reynolds, and three brothers. The circumstances and competing accounts revealed at trial drew significant attention.
