Lelia King, 30, was killed on July 16, 2022, when an errant bullet struck her while she sat in her car in the parking lot of a convenience store on East Broad Street near James Road in Columbus, Ohio. She had been waiting to pick up snacks for a movie night with her five-year-old daughter. A Good Samaritan and emergency responders rendered aid, but King was pronounced dead at Mount Carmel East Hospital later that night.

The Columbus Division of Police identified a 16-year-old suspect, Kyrim Curenton, who was charged with reckless homicide and weapons under disability, and released surveillance photos of three other persons of interest. King’s family and friends remembered her as an incredible mother and generous friend; her best friend, Melissa Duross, called her a humble spirit and the best mother anyone could ask for. Her daughter is now in the care of an aunt and continues to ask questions about her mother’s death.
