Caleb Seth King was 20 when he was shot and killed on April 24, 2021, in Wilmington, Ohio. A 2018 graduate of Wilmington High School, Caleb worked at Taco Bell and enjoyed landscaping, video games, and working on cars.

The shooting occurred at a friend’s house on Derbyshire Drive. Caleb was struck in the abdomen and taken to Clinton Memorial Hospital, where he died. Authorities say the gunfire happened during a playful interaction between Caleb and a 14-year-old boy, later identified as Yevin Medley. Medley turned himself in the next day and was charged with felonious assault and reckless homicide.

Multiple agencies assisted in the investigation: the Wilmington Police Department, the Clinton County prosecutor’s office, the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Anyone with information about Caleb or the incident is urged to come forward.
