On July 22, 2026, 29-year-old Vincent Stoetzel was shot and killed while working at Carter Lumber in Mason, Ohio. Stoetzel, described as a husband and father of four and a man of deep faith, was at his job when a former co-worker entered the warehouse and fired an estimated 22 to 25 shots at him. Witnesses who recognized the attacker identified him as 34-year-old David Cohen, who had been employed at the facility for about a week and quit days before the shooting.

Cohen fled in a gray Chevy and was arrested shortly afterward. He was charged with aggravated murder and ordered held without bond during his initial court appearance as the case was sent to a Warren County grand jury. Stoetzel and Cohen had a brief social acquaintance of about three to four weeks prior to the killing, but the motive remains unclear. If anyone knew Vincent, his family, or has information about that day, please share what you know with investigators.
