Terry Fuller, a 42-year-old man from Middletown, Ohio, was shot and killed on August 1, 2022. He was found on the sidewalk curb in the 2100 block of Grand Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Middletown police were called to the scene at 10:30 p.m.; investigators recovered more than 20 shell casings but no gun was recovered.

The dispute that night began earlier between Terry and his nephew, 23-year-old Denzel Fuller, and it escalated into the fatal shooting. Denzel was arrested and charged with murder, felonious assault, having weapons under disability, and tampering with evidence; he later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and related charges. In May 2023 Denzel received a minimum sentence of 11 years and a maximum of 16½ years, plus a three-year mandatory gun specification and additional terms for having weapons under disability and tampering with evidence.

Family members attended court; Denzel’s mother and Terry’s sister, Tina Fuller, said Denzel was not in the right state of mind, and Denzel expressed remorse and cited the pain caused to his family, including his 18-month-old daughter. Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night around Grand Avenue that could shed more light on how the dispute escalated?
