Amanda Lynn Rush was 30 when she was killed during a random shooting on October 23, 2020, in Columbus, Ohio. She managed the White Castle on West Broad Street and was described as caring, outgoing, and well liked by family, friends, and co-workers. She enjoyed concerts and anything that glittered.

On the day of her death Mark Reynolds, 29, entered the restaurant as part of a series of shootings on the city’s west side. Amanda was shot and died at the scene; several other people were shot at different locations that day, and the attack left workers and family members traumatized.

Amanda’s parents, Betty and Burnie Rush, have been active in preserving her memory through a scholarship and a memorial set up outside the White Castle where she worked, and her photo appears on a sign in the restaurant lobby. Does anyone who knew Amanda or worked with her have memories or information to share about her life and that day?
