Karen R. Arrington, 52, was killed during an armed robbery at the Players Paradise Internet Café in east Columbus on January 20, 2019. The attack occurred just after 4 a.m. when two masked men entered and demanded money. Karen and her husband, Joseph Arrington, were shot during the robbery and pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified Christopher Alexander King and an accomplice as suspects who attacked Karen and Joseph. Joseph Arrington, who worked as a security guard at the café, confronted the attackers, and a shootout followed in which both victims were fatally shot. Columbus Police launched a criminal investigation and later issued a warrant charging King with robbery and murder; a reward was announced for information, and additional arrests were made in connection with the case.

Karen Arrington was described as Caucasian and remembered as a dedicated EMT, mother and grandmother. What details about the robbery or the suspects have not yet been released that could help explain how events unfolded that morning?
