Nicholas Alan Oostdyk, 41, of Newton Falls, Ohio, was killed on February 13, 2022. Born in Bermuda on February 6, 1981, he was a 1999 graduate of Southeast High School and served 10 years in the United States Air Force, reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant. He enjoyed hunting and gaming and was remembered for helping others.

On the day he died, Nicholas was at a Super Bowl party at the Uniontown home of a relative, Alfred Lee Johnson. An argument broke out between them, and Johnson shot Nicholas multiple times in the face and stomach with a .45-caliber pistol. Nicholas was taken to Summa Health System Akron Campus and was pronounced dead about 40 minutes later. Johnson was arrested at the scene and charged with murder.

Anyone who knew Nicholas, his activities, or who was at that party and can add details is asked to come forward with information.
