Dale Delauter, 61, of East Toledo, Ohio, died April 16, 2016, at Mercy St. Vincent Hospital after being shot during an altercation outside a bowling alley. He and his girlfriend Melissa McCloskey were returning from dinner when they encountered a rowdy crowd. Ramiro Ramirez — who reportedly went to his car, retrieved a pistol, and fired several shots — was charged in the case.

At trial the court heard conflicting testimony about whether Delauter was pointing his shotgun at Ramirez and his companions or holding it down at his side. Ramirez was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. McCloskey, who witnessed the shooting, described seeing Delauter crawl toward her and call her name before she dialed 911. Delauter is remembered by family as a devoted father and grandfather who enjoyed working in his garage and riding his motorcycle.

Does anyone have additional details about the scene outside the bowling alley or knew Dale and can share what he was like?
