A summer afternoon at the South Haven pier ended in a sudden act of deadly violence when a gunman opened fire on a couple visiting the beach on August 20, 2021. Charles Chuck Skuza, 73, of Kalamazoo, was shot and died at the scene; his wife Barb was critically wounded. Authorities described the attack as random and said there was no known connection between the shooter and the Skuzas.

The shooter was identified as 19-year-old Aidan Ingalls of Bangor. Reports say Ingalls later died on the pier after the shootings. His background included a 2018 police investigation when, at age 15, his mother discovered a plot and a list targeting Paw Paw High School; he faced multiple felony charges then but was not tried as an adult. A therapist reported he had significant mental health struggles, and he had been released from probation weeks before the pier shooting.

Does anyone who was at South Beach on August 20, 2021, or who knew the Skuzas or Ingalls have information that could shed more light on what happened that afternoon?
