Ja’Quan Tucker, 21, of Columbus, Ohio, died from a gunshot wound to the chest on July 10, 2015. The shooting occurred during an altercation over a missing dog while Tucker was a passenger in a car. A 19-year-old, Gino Griggs, confronted the vehicle, produced a handgun and fired several shots; Tucker was struck and later died at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center after a bystander drove him to a gas station and called 911.

Griggs fled the scene but was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. The dispute reportedly began over a $50 dog; family and community members remembered Ja’Quan as helpful and kind and were deeply affected by the loss.

Does anyone have information about the events leading up to the confrontation or knew Ja’Quan and can add context?
