Walter Lee Barfield was 23 when he was killed in a mass shooting at Chalk Linez Barbershop in Warrensville Heights, Ohio, on February 5, 2015. He was one of three men shot dead when 21-year-old Douglas Shine Jr. allegedly entered the barbershop armed and opened fire after an argument tied to rival gang activity.

Shine was identified as a member of the Heartless Felons. The attack also killed William Gonzalez and Brandon White. The shooting prompted an arrest and aggravated murder charges against Shine; a jury later convicted him and recommended the death penalty, but the judge sentenced him to four life terms without parole plus 380 years. The victims’ families sought justice and the community reacted to the violence.

What details about Walter’s life or that night might help explain what happened, or could assist anyone with information about the case?
