On August 18, 2022, 19-year-old Sincere Moore, a Black male from Columbus, Ohio, was sitting next to a memorial in the front yard of a house on South Ashburton Road when an unidentified person approached and shot him multiple times. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and died on August 21, 2022. The memorial was for 21-year-old Lavarr Madison, who had been killed three days earlier on the same street.

The Columbus Division of Police has not identified a suspect in Moore’s killing. The case is an example of ongoing gun violence in the city; investigators are asking anyone with information to come forward.
