Brian Leroy Stevens, 35, was shot to death in his Columbus, Ohio home on November 19, 1995. He was employed at Bank One. His wife Tracey Stevens and their 4-month-old daughter Amanda were also killed in the same attack; the couple’s 7-year-old son hid and was unharmed.

The attacker, identified as Jerry Hessler, was a former Bank One employee who had been fired more than a year earlier after accusations of sexual harassment. Hessler broke into the Stevens’ home as part of a broader shooting spree that targeted former colleagues and their families. After killing the three members of the Stevens family, the shooter continued to another residence, where a bank co-worker was wounded and another bank employee was killed. Hessler was charged with three counts of aggravated murder and two counts of felonious assault.

Brian was remembered by friends and colleagues and his death had a strong impact on the community. If anyone knew the Stevens family or has information about that night, please share what you remember.
