Adam Lee Black, 35, was shot and killed on May 26, 2022, in Hamilton, Ohio, after intervening to stop an alleged shoplifting in the electronics section of a Fairfield Township Walmart. Black, who had recently moved to Hamilton with his fiancée and was expecting a child, worked as a security guard and was attempting to stop a suspect when he was fatally shot; a Walmart employee was also injured.

Authorities arrested 32-year-old Anthony Brown of Hamilton the next morning and charged him with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, and weapons offenses; Brown was out on bond for a pending robbery case at the time. Black’s mother, Shirley Damron, and other family members remember him as caring and described him as the life of the party. A GoFundMe was established to help with funeral expenses.

The shooting has prompted public debate about bail and repeat offenders, with officials and others calling for changes. Does anyone have information about Adam’s movement that day or saw what happened inside the store?
