Tomika Lee Turner was a 36-year-old mother of four from Columbus, Ohio, who was shot and killed on October 16, 2019, on East 13th Avenue. Friends and family remembered her as kind-hearted and active in the community; she ran an initiative called Love is as Love does that provided goods and food to people in need. Turner’s children were reported to be ages 5, 13, 17, and 18.

Columbus Police identified her on-and-off boyfriend, 37-year-old Roshan Lamar Cumberlander, as the suspect. Turner was reportedly trying to end the relationship at the time of the shooting; Cumberlander fled the scene and was later taken into custody. The case drew attention during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and friends and family held a candlelight vigil while starting a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs.

What details might help build a fuller timeline of Turner's last hours or support the family’s efforts to raise awareness about leaving abusive relationships?
