Darrell L. Nelson Jr, 22, of Painesville, Ohio, was killed on September 29, 2020, during a shooting on Morse Avenue near West Jackson Street. He was born January 4, 1998, in Columbus, Georgia, and is survived by his parents Kelly Lawyer and Darrell L. Nelson Sr, sisters Kailey Marie and Savannah Nelson, and brothers Jalen and Braylon Kimbrough. He worked for his grandfather Allen Wells at Kay Home Improvements and had a passion for computers and technology.

Police say a group of young men were recording a music video when another group arrived; an argument reportedly escalated into gunfire. Nelson and another man, 32-year-old Yamil Lanzot-Rivera Jr. of Philadelphia, died of their injuries. A third person survived after an officer applied a tourniquet. Multiple suspects have been identified and the Painesville Police Department, with assistance from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Lake County Prosecutor's Office, continues to investigate. No arrests have been announced.
