Gordon Capshaw, a 75-year-old man from Toledo, OH, tragically lost his life on September 5, 2018, due to senseless gun violence. Capshaw, known for his kind and generous nature, was deeply loved by his family and friends. He had a long-standing dispute with his neighbor, Christopher Krauzer, over a privacy fence and property line.

Capshaw was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his
injuries. The incident left his family and friends heartbroken, as they struggled to come to terms with the loss of a beloved husband, father, and friend. Krauzer was later arrested and charged with aggravated murder. He initially entered a not guilty plea by reason of insanity, but this plea was denied.
