On August 3, 2016, 25-year-old Todd Berus of Hamilton, Ohio, was killed in a drive-by shooting near Maggard’s Grocery & Carryout on Central Avenue. He was in a vehicle with Orlando Gilbert, who was also killed. Hamilton Police say both victims were specifically targeted and the shooting was not random.

Three people were arrested in connection with the attack: Melinda Gabby, 35, Zachary Harris, 24, and Tony Patete, 23. Witness cooperation reportedly led to swift arrests and the suspects were charged with two counts of aggravated murder. Authorities believed the drive-by was retaliation connected to an earlier shooting at Doubles bar in which Orlando Gilbert had been among eight people shot.

Todd’s family described the deep loss left by his death; his aunt Mollie Berus said he never got to meet his young daughter. Did anyone in the community have information about Todd’s movements that night or about the events linking the Doubles bar shooting to this attack?
