## Resource

A beloved father of four, Robert Russell, was fatally shot at his favorite bar in Put-in-Bay just days before his 40th birthday—killing him instantly and leaving his family shattered. The suspect, 21-year-old Colton Smith from Michigan, was arrested hours later and faces murder charges with a $1 million bond. Authorities say the shooting appears random, with no known connection between victim and suspect. The community has rallied around Russell’s widow and kids, who are now navigating grief while honoring his legacy of adventure, love, and family. A GoFundMe has surged with donations to help them through this unimaginable loss. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
