Jaden Halpern was 17 when he was fatally shot in Lima, Ohio, on June 10, 2022. Jaden’s father, David Halpern, confronted the situation and, believing he saw an assault rifle, fired a defensive shot. Jaden stepped in front of that bullet and died from the wound to his back while trying to protect his father.

Prosecutors charged members of the group with multiple crimes including murder, aggravated burglary, and aggravated robbery. The cases of Khyrese Garner and Roselyn Thomas-Lewis remain open. The Halpern family continues to grieve.

Did anyone in Lima at the time see or hear anything that could help fill gaps about how the confrontation unfolded?
