Mason Nicholas Trudics was an 18-year-old student at the Warren County Career Center who was shot and killed on December 13, 2019, near Lebanon, Ohio. He was found on Oregonia Road in the early morning hours alongside another teenager who was critically injured and taken to hospital. Trudics did not live at the address where the shooting occurred.

Deputies initially responded to reports of prowlers; detectives later determined gunfire had been exchanged near the residence minutes before the first call. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office described the homicide investigation as rapidly evolving, involving multiple jurisdictions, and said investigators conducted interviews with cooperating parties and continued to gather credible suspect information. Four teenagers were charged in connection with Trudics’ murder and one of the suspects had appeared in court; the case had been referred to a grand jury.

Mason’s family remembered him for video games, anime, drawing and strong loyalty to his friends; he had plans to join the Air Force after high school. Is there anyone who was in that area on December 13, 2019, or who knew Mason and can share information about that night?
