Gunman at-large after fatally shooting during 'domestic incident' inside Bob Evans in Canton, OH

A gunman is at-large after police say he fatally shot a waitress during a "domestic incident" inside a Bob Evans Restaurant in Canton Friday, Canton Police Chief Jack Angelo confirmed. The waitress, identified as Rebecca Jean Rogers, 38, of Canton, died from her injuries after she was taken to Mercy Hospital.

The shooting happened at around 9:30 a.m. inside the restaurant located at 3400 Lesh Street Northeast. Preliminary information revealed Rogers saw the suspected shooter, later identified as Richard James Nelson, 54, of Canton, come in with a gun, so she ran down the hallway of the restaurant where she was shot.

Police estimate there were between six to eight employees inside and approximately six to eight patrons inside at the time of the shooting. Angelo said the shooting is considered a "domestic incident" between a girlfriend and a boyfriend.

Nelson is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached. He is wanted on a warrant for aggravated murder.
