Authorities in Strongsville, Ohio are investigating a fatal shooting that claimed the life of a longtime employee at a local Costco warehouse on Saturday evening.
According to police, officers with the Strongsville Police Department were dispatched at approximately 5:43 p.m. on April 25, 2026, to the Costco location at 16690 Royalton Road following reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, officers discovered a 61-year-old man, later identified as Randy Corrigan, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Officers immediately began administering first aid before Strongsville Fire-Medics arrived on the scene. Corrigan was transported to MetroHealth System for emergency treatment but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Police confirmed that a male subject was taken into custody at the scene and transported to the Strongsville Police Department for questioning. Authorities described the incident as involving two individuals and emphasized that the situation does not appear to be random. No additional details about the suspect or a possible motive have been released at this time.
The investigation remains ongoing. Officials say there is no further information available currently, and inquiries can be directed to [police.records@strongsville.org](mailto:police.records@strongsville.org).
Corrigan’s death has left a deep impact on those who knew him, particularly his coworkers. Described by friends and colleagues as funny, generous, and full of life, he was known for his warm personality and the joy he brought to the workplace.
“Randy was an amazing, funny, and generous man who completely turned his life around after some trouble in his younger days,” a loved one shared. “He was selfless and caring… he loved going to work at Costco, always talking about his coworkers.”
Corrigan was known for brightening the days of those around him, often sharing jokes, laughter, and sweet treats with colleagues. Outside of work, he had a passion for Jeep culture, Irish heritage, and collecting tattoos—interests that reflected his vibrant personality and made him memorable to all who crossed his path.
GoFundMe: Any donated funds would be super helpful. They will be put toward funeral costs, and more specifically scattering his remains in Corona Del Mar, as he wished. The funds will also help with the transition of care for my grandmother, who will need support now more than ever. This is a difficult time for our family, and your generosity will make a real difference.
As the community mourns his loss, many are remembering Corrigan not only for his past but for the life he rebuilt and the positivity he brought to others every day.
