Lidia Ghide was a 12-year-old girl from Reynoldsburg, Ohio who died on December 2, 2020 after being struck in the neck by a bullet that traveled through a shared apartment wall. The bullet was fired from a rifle being handled by her neighbor, 42-year-old Eric Carpenter. Lidia was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital and pronounced dead at 9:27 p.m.

Police described the incident as an accidental shooting; Carpenter was arrested and charged with reckless homicide. Neighbors organized a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses, and the Columbus Police Homicide Unit continued to investigate while urging anyone with information to come forward.
