Suspect From Fort Worth Accused of Shooting, Killing Ohio Costco Employee

Police said the suspect fired multiple rounds after being turned away, and Bryant is being held on $5 million bond.

  • On April 25, 2026, Christian M. Bryant shot and killed Costco employee Randy Corrigan at the Royalton Road store in Strongsville, Ohio, prompting authorities to charge the 22-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, with murder.
  • Witnesses observed Bryant entering with a visible drum magazine protruding from his pocket, prompting Corrigan to deny entry; when the employee pulled a pocket knife to defend himself, the suspect fired multiple rounds.
  • Bryant was arraigned on Monday in Berea Municipal Court and claimed he acted in self-defense after Corrigan allegedly approached him with a knife; a judge set bond at $5 million.
  • Friends and family described Corrigan as "an amazing, funny, and generous man" who served as sole caregiver for an 86-year-old grandmother, with a GoFundMe fundraiser now supporting her care.
  • Less than 24 hours after the shooting, coworkers laid flowers outside the store, while a family spokesperson stated they want "justice to be served" as police continue investigating the encounter.
