Brycen Douglas, a 20-year-old man from Wellsville, Ohio, was shot and killed on the front porch of a home on Pennsylvania Avenue in East Liverpool on July 15, 2021. Multiple agencies investigated the killing, including the Columbiana County Major Crimes Task Force, the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Salem Police Department, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Two men were identified and charged in connection with Douglas’s death: Elvin EJ Tisdale, 34, of Newell, West Virginia, and Allen N. Tisdale, 24, of Lisbon, Ohio. Both faced counts of aggravated murder, murder, and firearm specifications; Elvin EJ Tisdale was also charged with having weapons while under disability related to a prior felony conviction. Both defendants were held on $1 million cash or surety bonds.

A separate indictment named 25-year-old Travis Kidder of East Liverpool on a charge of obstructing justice for allegedly lying to investigators; he pleaded not guilty to the third-degree felony count. The cases remain pending. If anyone has information about what happened on that porch on July 15, 2021, please share what is known.
