On March 1, 2023, at about 2:19 a.m., a shooting outside the Cheers Too bar on Cleveland Avenue left two people dead and a third critically wounded. Among the fatalities was 41-year-old Dawn Elizabeth Dunn, who was pronounced dead at the scene alongside Cornet H. Powell; a 48-year-old man survived after being taken to a hospital. Witnesses identified 37-year-old Jonathan Pigram as the shooter; officers found him hiding behind a vehicle with a handgun and wearing an ankle monitor. Pigram was arrested at the scene and later indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on multiple counts, including murder, attempted murder, felonious assault, and illegal possession of a firearm.

Dawn Dunn was remembered for her lively spirit, contagious laugh, and big heart. She attended Marysville High School, worked for TNT Cleaning doing home repairs and general maintenance, and enjoyed fishing and spending time with family and friends. She is survived by her fiancée Lydia ’Nikki’ Ferguson and several siblings, nieces, and nephews. A memorial service for Dunn was held on March 7, 2023.

If anyone knew Dawn or has information about that night, please share what you know.
