Ollie Timall Nato Gipson Jr. was 22 when he died on November 4, 2021, in Painesville, Ohio. A lifelong resident born February 17, 1999, he is remembered by family for his love of laughter, paintballing, music and for the time he spent with his children, family and friends.

Painesville police responded to reports of several shots fired near 55 Grant Street and found Gipson unresponsive in the driver’s seat of a vehicle with apparent gunshot wounds. A 26-year-old man, Julian Lawrence, was located nearby, detained and found to be in possession of a firearm; Lawrence was arrested and later indicted by a Lake County grand jury on multiple felonies including aggravated murder and murder. A jury later returned guilty verdicts on those charges; sentencing is pending.
