Nathan Anthony Nate Bray was 23 and from Circleville, Ohio, when he was killed on December 8, 2004, at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in Columbus. Bray was shot in the chest and died at the scene.

The shooter, Nathan Gale, 25 of Marysville, Ohio, opened fire onstage with a handgun. Three others were also killed while trying to intervene or while working the show: Erin Halk, 29, a club employee; and Jeff Mayhem Thompson, 40, a security member affiliated with the band. Gale was shot and killed at the scene by Columbus police officer James D. Niggemeyer; a Franklin County grand jury later found the officer’s actions justified.

Bray was remembered at a funeral attended by about 200 people and described as a sports fan who enjoyed basketball, golf, motorcycling and heavy metal. If anyone knew Nate Bray or has information about that night, please share what is remembered.
