Domenique Shane Draughn, a 32-year-old man from Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on September 7, 2017, after an argument outside a barbecue stand at the front of a Sunoco station on Lockbourne Road and East Markison Avenue. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Draughn raising his hands to indicate he was unarmed before he was shot once in the chest.

Connie Genous, 68, who operated the barbecue stand, pulled a revolver during the altercation and shot Draughn. Genous was charged with aggravated murder, multiple counts of brandishing a weapon, tampering with evidence, and illegal possession of a firearm; he later pleaded guilty to the murder charge and the other counts were dismissed. At sentencing Genous received 15 years to life in prison. Family members, including Draughn’s maternal aunt Stephanie Starks, spoke about the impact of his death on his four children.

Draughn’s death was recorded as the 92nd homicide in Columbus for 2017. Does anyone have memories of Domenique or information about what happened that evening?
