Cindy Jean Krantz, 48, was killed on May 12, 2017, in a shooting at Pine Kirk Care Center in Kirkersville, Ohio. She had worked about five years as a nurse’s aide at the facility and was remembered as caring and dedicated to both residents and family.

Three people were shot at the care center that day: Cindy Krantz, nurse Marlina Medrano, and Kirkersville Police Chief Steven Eric DiSario. The shooter was identified as Thomas Hartless, who was involved in an ongoing domestic violence case with Marlina Medrano and had allegedly threatened to kill her if she reported him to police. Hartless was scheduled for a court appearance that day but did not attend and instead carried out the shooting; he was later arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder.
