Fifteen-year-old Devin Bannister of Columbus died on July 18, 2022, after being shot and taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Devin had been in a vehicle on the 1100 block of Zebulon Avenue in the North Linden neighborhood when a drive-by shooting sent more than 40 rounds into a residence. He was in a car with several others when a gunshot passed through the front passenger seat and struck him.

Authorities identified 20-year-old Ameir Trent as the shooter. Trent was charged with reckless homicide, felonious assault, and discharging a firearm into a habitation; he pleaded guilty and received a 15- to 17-year prison sentence. The case drew attention for the loss of a teenager and the wider pattern of shootings involved.

If anyone knew Devin, was in North Linden that night, or has information about the events on Zebulon Avenue, please come forward.
