Taryn Simmons, 22, was shot and killed on June 25, 2020, at an apartment complex on Lodwick Drive in Warren, Ohio. The shooting happened after Simmons entered the apartment of her child’s father, 23-year-old Edward Culler, and became involved in a physical altercation with his current girlfriend. Culler intervened and shots were fired, resulting in Simmons’ death.

Edward Culler was arrested about five hours after the shooting and later charged with murder. There is a recorded history of domestic violence between Simmons and Culler, including a 2017 incident in which Culler was charged with felonious assault for shooting Simmons in the leg. Family members described Simmons as a loving mother and daughter, and her mother, Robinette Jones, and aunt, Robin Ann Jones, spoke publicly about their grief and called for justice. The community held vigils and raised concerns about domestic violence.

Does anyone have information about Simmons’ life in Warren or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
