Courtney Michell Kelley, 26, was found with a gunshot wound at her home on Dolby Drive in south Columbus and was pronounced dead at 11:29 p.m. on December 23, 2020. She enjoyed writing music and songs, decorating, coloring, and family life, and is survived by her partner Johnny Dale Caudill; daughter Kayleigh Dawn Caudill; sons Bryson Dale Caudill and Ryan Carl Landrigan Jr.; her mother Shannon Kelley; sisters Brittany Leady, Stephanie Kelley, and Cheyenne Mason; and brothers Michael Leady and Jerry Kelley Jr.

Investigators say Courtney had been in an argument earlier that day with 25-year-old William Boyce. Boyce, who was a passenger in a vehicle, is believed to have fired shots into Courtney’s home from the passenger seat as the vehicle drove by. Boyce was arrested by patrol officers and taken into custody and is facing a charge of murder in Franklin County Municipal Court. The shooting was recorded as the 167th homicide in Columbus in 2020.

If anyone knew Courtney, witnessed the argument that day, or has information about shots fired on Dolby Drive on December 23, please come forward.
