On August 20, 2018, 31-year-old Julian Davis Higgins was found shot to death in a parking lot on Wedgewood Drive in Columbus, Ohio. He was discovered lying beside a trash dumpster with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene by Columbus fire personnel. The slaying was recorded as the 70th homicide in Columbus that year.

An investigation followed and on September 5, 2018, 31-year-old Lonzo Al Doughty was charged with Higgins’ murder. Police described Doughty as armed and dangerous and said he had fled the scene; he remained at large for over a month. Doughty was arrested by SWAT officers on December 11, 2018, at the home of Torri Martel Doughty, who was later charged with obstructing justice. Investigators reported that Higgins’ body had been dumped next to the dumpster on Wrexham Avenue in west Columbus.
