Rihana Gilbert, 46, was shot and killed at an O’Reilly Auto Parts on West Prospect Road in Ashtabula, Ohio, on May 5, 2023. She was pronounced dead at the scene after the shooting, which investigators say was part of a larger spree that included another victim, Timothy, who was chased and shot by the same assailant shortly afterward.

Authorities identified a 36-year-old named Montalban as the suspect; he was arrested and charged with murder. As of June 2024 a bench trial had been scheduled to address the charges. The motive for the shootings remains unclear. Friends and family held a candlelight vigil after Gilbert’s death, where more than fifty people gathered to remember her as an amazing person.
