Rhandi Michelle Freitag was 16 and a sophomore at Zanesville High School when she was shot at a home in Zanesville on May 31, 2021. Known for academic excellence and aspirations to become a pediatric nurse, she was found with a gunshot wound at the residence of 21-year-old Donovan C. Norman and taken to Genesis Hospital, where she later died.

Donovan Norman was arrested and charged with murder and held in the Zanesville City Jail on $2 million bond. Investigators reported that Rhandi had been staying over at Norman’s house and that the two argued. Norman said he did not intend to kill her and claimed he meant only to scare her by pointing a gun at her face; the autopsy indicated the gun was very close to her face when it was fired.

If anyone knew Rhandi or has information about the events at that house on May 31, 2021, please come forward.
