Jacob Ryan Walerko, 25, was shot and killed while working the evening shift at the Meijer gas station on Lima Road in Fort Wayne on Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2017. A man entered the store during an armed robbery and fatally shot Jacob in the head; a carton of cigarettes was taken. Police responded to a holdup alarm shortly after 8 p.m. and found Jacob behind the counter with apparent gunshot wounds. Another employee in the cooler area was unharmed. The Allen County Coroner ruled the manner of death homicide, listing the cause as a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators circulated a likeness of the suspect and received credible tips from the public. The following day police arrested 21-year-old Victor Rivera in a trailer park off Washington Center Road; he was charged with murder, felony murder, and robbery causing serious bodily injury. Jacob’s family described his ambitions and character: he worked two jobs and hoped to pursue a career in law enforcement to address the local drug problem.

Did anyone who knew Jacob or was in that area on November 23, 2017, see or hear anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
