Bobby Lopaz Washington, 60, a man from Cleveland, Ohio, was shot and killed on September 20, 2025. Public memorial records list the name Bobby Lopaz Washington, age 60, “lost to gun violence” in Cleveland on that date; independent homicide trackers likewise record him as a male victim who died on September 20, 2025.
That Saturday proved especially brutal for Cleveland.
Memorial rolls for the city show multiple people killed by gunfire on September 20, including 36-year-old Alissha Brown, 42-year-old Joseph Anthony Szymkowski III, and 29-year-old James W. Philpott—lives now preserved mostly through brief obituary notices and online candles.
In the days that followed, police announced arrests tied to a double homicide that same day on East 59th Street, identifying two suspects—33-year-old Andrew Dillon and 45-year-old Richard Koballa—after one was taken into custody by Cleveland officers and the other by Shaker Heights police. Authorities described a 2:00 a.m. shooting that left a 42-year-old man dead and a separate 9:40 a.m. shooting at the same address that left a 36-year-old woman dead. However, officials did not attribute those arrests to the death of Bobby Lopaz Washington, and as of those updates there were no public statements connecting a suspect or an arrest specifically to the killing of Bobby Lopaz Washington, 60.
What remains on the record is spare and stark: Bobby Lopaz Washington, 60, male, Cleveland, September 20, 2025—another name entered into the city's ledger of the dead, with few public details about the moments before the gunfire or the person who pulled the trigger. Until investigators release more information or announce an arrest in his case, the contours of his final day are sketched only by the date, the city, and the knowledge that he was taken by violence.
