Alexia Carey was a 16-year-old student at Northwood High School in Toledo, Ohio. She played volleyball and cheered, hoped to become a nurse, and was described as having a vibrant personality. On March 11, 2019, an argument that began on social media escalated into a physical confrontation during which 50-year-old James Seibers fired a handgun and shot Alexia in the chest. She was taken to a hospital but died of the wound.

Seibers was later indicted on murder-related charges. In February 2022 he entered an Alford plea and was found guilty of the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter; on April 4, 2022 he was sentenced to five years in prison. Alexia’s mother, Alisha Lauharn, publicly expressed sorrow and frustration at the outcome and some family members said the sentence did not feel like full justice.

Anyone who knew Alexia, her activities at Northwood High School, or saw the events of March 11, 2019 is asked to share information.
