Strongsville police charge Texas man in deadly shooting at Costco

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (WOIO) - A 23-year-old Fort Worth, Texas man is now charged in connection with the deadly shooting at Costco Saturday.

Randolph Corrigan, a Costco employee, was killed in the shooting.

Christian Bryant is charged with murder and was arraigned via video in Berea Municipal Court on Monday.

The prosecution asked for a $5 million bond and the judge granted that bond. The attorney said Bryant was a truck driver who was traveling so he could flee before his case is resolved, which is why they asked for the large bond.

Bryant’s case is now bound over to the Cuyahoga County Grand Jury.

Bryant, in a brief statement during the hearing, said Corrigan approached him with a knife.

A spokesperson for the family was in court and said they want “justice be served.”

Officers responded to the store in the 16600 block of Royalton Rd. at 5:43 p.m. Saturday.

When they arrived, Corrigan, 61, was found with multiple gunshot wounds.

According to a Strongsville Police investigative report, Corrigan was shot seven to eight times.

Several good Samaritans were attempting to render medical aid to Corrigan as officers arrived, according to a report.

Police said they immediately began first aid before paramedics transferred him to MetroHealth Medical Center, where he died.
