"Alan Cole, owner of Ed’s, said there was no fight but that he and a member of his security staff saw the men leave the restaurant. One of the men had his hand on the other’s collar, but Cole said he thought they may have been joking around because the victim appeared to be smiling. Cole said he and his staff knew things were serious when the suspect, still holding the other man, began running toward the street. “The man in control of the victim didn’t stop,” Cole wrote in an e-mail to the Observer. “He ran right up to the edge of the street and tossed the other man into the traffic lane, with no pause or delay.” Kingston was struck moments later."

Robert Kingston was 26. According to this Ohio newspaper, Kingston was engaged to be married on August 4, 2012. [Observer]
