Joseph Michael Arrington, 38, was killed on January 20, 2019, during an armed robbery at Players Paradise internet café in east Columbus, OH. He worked as a fabricator at Horton EMV and as a sheet metal foreman at Hathaway Ferguson and was remembered as well regarded in his community. He is survived by his son, Ian Arrington, and other family and friends.

Reports say Joseph and his wife, Karen Arrington, 52, were shot and killed early that morning by two men who robbed the café at gunpoint. The robbery was linked to a series of crimes targeting internet gaming businesses in the area; five suspects were later indicted in the broader string of offenses. Two men identified in reports as Chris King and Justice Stringer were arrested and given lengthy federal prison terms for their roles in the case.

What details about that night or the people involved might help anyone who knew Joseph or frequented Players Paradise to come forward with information?
