William Gonzalez was a 32-year-old Hispanic man who owned the Chalk Linez barbershop in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. He was shot and killed there on February 5, 2015, when a man in a dark hoodie entered the shop and opened fire. Two other men, Walter Lee Barfield and Brandon White, were also killed; three more people were wounded. Gonzalez’s wife, Darlese Gonzalez, worked at the shop as a hairdresser and later described finding her husband face down in a pool of blood amid the chaos.

Investigators linked the attack to a gang-related dispute. Douglas Shine Jr., described as 21 and a member of the Heartless Felons gang, was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. The case was prosecuted at trial, jurors convicted Shine of the murders and recommended death; the judge imposed four life terms without parole plus 380 years instead. Local police worked with the FBI, the county sheriff’s office, a gang task force, and the U.S. Marshals Service during the investigation.
