James Crabtree Jr., 45, was shot and killed on October 29, 2014, in Columbus, Ohio, while working as a pizza delivery driver for Grandma’s Pizza. He was sitting in his car on North Cassady Avenue making a delivery when two teens attempted a robbery; Crabtree was shot multiple times and died at the scene despite rescue efforts.

Columbus police arrested Diondre Jefferson, 17 at the time, and Sean Fletcher, 18. Investigators say the pair planned the robbery, with Jefferson approaching Crabtree’s vehicle and Fletcher remaining at the rear. After the shooting they fled to a nearby house where officers apprehended them. Guns recovered at that house included one that matched the shell casings at the scene and reportedly carried Jefferson’s DNA.

Jefferson was charged with murder, robbery, and kidnapping and was later given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 18 years; Fletcher was charged with involuntary manslaughter and aggravated robbery and received a nine-year sentence. Crabtree is survived by three children. Does anyone have information about Crabtree’s routes, delivery practices, or memories of him that could add context to what happened that night?
