Paul Griffin, 64, was shot and killed on November 19, 1995, in Worthington, a Columbus, Ohio suburb, when he opened the door of his home. The shooter was Jerry Hessler, a former colleague who had been fired from the same bank where Griffin worked and who targeted Griffin and several other former colleagues during a single-day violent spree.

Hessler carried a list of intended victims and shot multiple people that day, killing some and wounding others before being apprehended by police in Ashland, Ohio. At trial a Franklin County jury recommended the death penalty and the judge accepted that recommendation.

What details about Paul Griffin’s life or his ties to the community might help explain who he was to those who knew him? If anyone has information about Griffin or that day that has not been shared with investigators, please come forward.
