Bryant Ortiz, 33, of Lorain, Ohio, was shot and killed on September 21, 2009. The shooting followed an argument at Ray’s Memory Lane, a bar at 3680 Pearl Avenue. After patrons were ordered to leave, the disagreement continued in the parking lot. A short time later, while Ortiz and his brother Mark Silva were walking away along East 37th Street, a man approached and shot Ortiz, who died of his wounds.

Lorain police have classified the case as an unsolved homicide and the Ohio Attorney General’s office includes it among its unsolved homicides. No arrests have been reported and the motive remains unclear. Ortiz had lived in Lorain since 1978, worked as a landscaper, attended Iglesia de Cristo Misionera, and enjoyed music, baseball, and community activities.

Did anyone witness the argument at Ray’s Memory Lane or see who approached Bryant and his brother on East 37th Street?
