Seth Taylon Beatty was 16 and from Moraine, Ohio when he was shot and later died at Kettering Medical Center on July 16, 2020. The shooting happened around 8:50 p.m. in the 2100 block of Kajean Avenue in Miami Township after a 911 caller reported a car drove by and shot a man who was then taken to the hospital. The Montgomery County Coroner initially listed the cause and manner of death as undetermined, and the Miami Township Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators described the incident as not random and said it appeared to stem from a drug deal; persons of interest were identified but no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced.
