In the predawn hours of August 29, Christoff was sitting in his Audi in the hotel parking garage when several men ambushed him. He was shot in the shoulder and leg after reversing to try to escape. A witness found him severely wounded and used Christoff’s car to drive him to a nearby hospital; Christoff died there from extensive blood loss.

Arrests were made in connection with the robbery and murder; those charged include Danell Ann Christner, Leneil James Colbert Jr., Anthony Melvin Lamont Curtis Pryor, Tarrance Daronze Hardie, and Franklin Carnelius Spriggs.
