22-year-old newlywed Keris Riebel lost her life in a brutal manner when a man with a machete entered the Dollar Tree store in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, where she worked and killed her.

According to authorities, the tragic incident took place at the shop at 1120 Wyandot Ave. around 4:25 p.m.

When police officers and an ambulance arrived at the scene, Riebel was pronounced dead.

The killer, later identified at 27-year-old Bethel Bekele was tracked down and arrested in the 100 block of South Fifth Street, where he was sitting in a parked automobile near the Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office. He was since charged with murder.

The reason behind the killing remains a mystery.
