David Cahill, 23, was shot and killed on December 23, 1974, while working behind the counter at a Stop-N-Go Food Store near the Ohio State University campus in Columbus, Ohio. Cahill reached for a six-pack of beer and was shot in the chest at point-blank range. Mortally wounded, he managed to call the operator before dying. The suspects fled with $106 from the cash register, and Waters also fired at a female witness sitting in her car in the parking lot as they escaped.

Both men were arrested; Waters was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery and Reed as an accomplice. At trial both were found guilty, Waters receiving life without parole and Reed a lengthy prison term. Cahill was close to graduating from The Ohio State University with a degree in computer sciences and had planned to join the Air Force.

Does anyone have memories of Cahill, the Stop-N-Go, or that night that could add detail to the record?
