Gary Gene Stevens, 60, of Laurelville, Ohio, was killed at his home on September 1, 2016. A U.S. Marine veteran who later worked in the HVAC industry, he is survived by his sister Vickie, his daughter Stacey Stevens, and close friends and companions named Donald, Sarge, Spank Morrison, Marc Zingarelli, and Robert Young. He was described as a strong supporter of the Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights.

Investigators connected the killing to events on August 31, 2016, when two people traveled to Circleville to buy heroin and cocaine. One of those individuals later called to say he had been shot, and the investigation uncovered a conflict involving Josh Cross that led to the shooting. An arrest was made in connection with Stevens’ death and criminal charges were filed.

Does anyone have information about Gary’s life in Laurelville or about the night of August 31–September 1, 2016, that could help clarify what happened?
