Overview
- Randy Corrigan, 61, was shot multiple times Saturday at the Strongsville Costco, and police arrested 22-year-old Christian M. Bryant on a murder charge.
- Bryant, a Fort Worth truck driver passing through Ohio, appeared in Berea Municipal Court Monday, is held on a $5 million bond, and his case is being prepared for grand jury review.
- Detectives say they recovered a Springfield XD-40 handgun, a 37-round drum magazine, and 13 fired .40-caliber casings at the scene.
- Bryant told the court he acted in self-defense, saying Corrigan approached with a knife, and an affidavit cites witness claims of a pocket knife, but the police report does not list a recovered knife and officers are asking additional witnesses to come forward.
- Corrigan’s family says he cared for his 86-year-old mother, and a GoFundMe for funeral and care costs has raised close to $30,000.
