On the evening of October 25, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at Just in Time Recreation, a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine. Thomas Ryan Conrad, 34, was working there as the manager when a gunman opened fire. Witnesses say Conrad confronted the shooter in an effort to protect families and children; he was killed during the attack and is remembered as having acted to defend others.

Conrad was a U.S. Army veteran who served in Northern Iraq and had moved back to Maine to raise his young daughter, Caroline. Friends and family described him as serious but compassionate, and said his devotion to his daughter was central to his life. The man identified as the shooter, Robert Card, was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

If anyone knew Thomas, his work at the bowling alley, or saw anything relevant that night, please share what you remember.
