88-year-old Carl Petroff was shot to death inside his home on South Union Street on the city's south side in early-July. The location is near East Pleasant Run Parkway South Drive, a few blocks from Manual High School.

At the time of his murder, neighbor Steve McGreevy, who has lived in the neighborhood for seven-years, said nothing like Petroff's killing had happened there during his time. "A very nice man, always sat in his backyard, always waved to people as they went by," said McGreevy about Petroff. He described Petroff as well respected in the community.
According to his obituary, Petroff graduated from Manuel High School and was in the Army during the Korean War. He owned the Shar-Mar Social Club for many years.
