Douglas Allen Thackston was 37 when he was shot to death in Wayne Hills, Portsmouth, Ohio, on August 4, 2018. The killing prompted a criminal investigation that resulted in the arrest of Nathan Stiltner on aggravated murder, murder, and felonious assault charges.

Stiltner was later convicted of those charges in 2019 and received a life sentence with parole eligibility after 28 years. The motive for the shooting has not been made clear in reports, and the case involved multiple motions and hearings during the legal process.
