Philip Riggle, 48, was found shot just inside the front door of his Springfield, Ohio, home on East Pleasant Street shortly before 5:30 a.m. on May 2, 2021. He suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. Riggle had worked for Topre America Ohio, graduated from Springfield North High School, and was a father.

Investigators developed a robbery motive after noting his pants pocket had been turned inside out. Court records say two people, Brandon Konicki and Stacy Rife, were accused of planning to rob him. A witness reported hearing a single gunshot soon after Konicki went to Riggle’s home; Rife was seen at the scene shortly afterward and had $260 in cash. She later admitted passing the money off and DNA matching Rife was found in the pocket of the pants Riggle was wearing at death. Rife was arrested in July 2021 and in September 2023 pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, aggravated robbery, and tampering with evidence; she was awaiting sentencing then and Konicki was scheduled for trial.

If anyone knew Philip Riggle or has information about the events that morning, please come forward.
