Andrew Day was 29 when he died on March 7, 2018. He worked at the Hampton Inn in Fairborn, Ohio, and ran a small photography business. Born July 22, 1988, in Kettering, he graduated from Tecumseh High School in 2007 and is survived by his wife, Brittany, and their daughter, Eleanor.

His death occurred during an aggravated robbery at the Hampton Inn where he was working behind the front desk. Two young males entered the hotel that evening; Andrew was shot and later died at Soin Medical Center in Beavercreek. The suspects fled in a white late 1990s Buick-style sedan.

Investigators linked Michael McLendon and Tavion Garrett to the robbery. McLendon admitted to shooting Andrew and, according to the case record, received at least 33 years in prison as part of a plea agreement. Garrett was indicted on murder, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping charges. Two others, Morgan Klink and Disean Graham, were charged with aggravated robbery and were awaiting sentencing. Memorial contributions have been made in Andrew’s name.
