Patria Lipson, 35, was shot while sitting with her husband Walter in their parked car on Columbus’s South Side on August 13, 2015, about 4:15 p.m. A man believed to have been involved in a drug transaction with the couple opened fire. Patria was struck at least twice, taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in grave condition, and died of her injuries on August 16, 2015.

Police identified 18-year-old Tobias Wilkins, from the East Side of Columbus, as the shooter and charged him with murder; he was already in custody on an unrelated felony burglary charge when the murder charge was filed. Investigators said Wilkins knew the couple and that the shooting occurred during a drug transaction. The killing was recorded as the city’s 60th homicide that year.

Patria is survived by her husband and four children; her funeral was held at Smyrna Baptist Church in Columbus.
