Shawntaye Edward Gavin, a 31-year-old African American man from Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed on September 16, 2020, in the Linden neighborhood. Police say they responded to a ShotSpotter alert at about 7:10 p.m. and found Gavin with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Grant Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

A 25-year-old man, Caleb Collins, was charged with murder in connection with the shooting after detectives gathered evidence linking him to the incident. Gavin’s death drew attention from the community; his family described him as a son, brother, and father to ten children. His funeral was held October 2, 2020, at Smoot Funeral Services.
