Andrew Louis Kunst, 49, of Grayson, Kentucky, was shot and killed on September 27, 2019, at the Seaman Marathon gas station in Seaman, Ohio. Kunst, a veteran CDL logistics driver and family man, intervened during an attempted robbery and abduction at the station while a clerk, Kasey DePriest, was being targeted. During the confrontation the suspect, identified as 44-year-old Brandon Carter of Seaman, shot Kunst; DePriest was wounded and later underwent multiple surgeries but survived.

Carter fled and led law enforcement on a pursuit through Adams and Pike counties. The chase ended when Carter died by a self-inflicted gunshot; investigators say he had set his home on fire earlier and human remains were found inside. With the suspect deceased, there were no further arrests related to Kunst’s death. Kunst is remembered by family and community members for intervening to protect others.
