CLEVELAND – Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley announced that a Cuyahoga County grand jury has returned an indictment charging 22-year-old Christian Bryant with murder, among other charges, for shooting and killing 61-year-old Randolph Corrigan outside of Costco Wholesale in Strongsville.

“Randolph Corrigan died trying to protect customers at the Strongsville Costco from an armed gunman. He was truly a hero.”

– Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley

On April 25, 2026, around 5:40 p.m., Christian Bryant parked a commercial truck outside of Costco Wholesale in Strongsville. He exited the vehicle and walked toward the front entrance with a firearm that had a 50-round drum magazine hanging from his shorts’ pocket.

Randolph Corrigan was on break and standing near his vehicle outside the store when he observed Bryant walking toward the entrance. Corrigan followed Bryant towards the front entrance and attempted to stop him from going closer to the entrance.

Bryant then shot Corrigan multiple times, causing Corrigan to fall, and Bryant came closer to him and shot him again. The Strongsville Police Department and EMS responded to the scene, and a knife was located near Corrigan.

Bryant was arrested at the scene. Corrigan was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

On May 11, 2026, Christian Bryant was indicted on the following charges:

  • Two counts of Murder (A & B)
  • Two counts of Felonious Assault (F2)

He will be arraigned at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center at a later date.
