Dante Aaron Goodman was 25 when he was shot and killed on May 28, 2018, in Columbus, Ohio. His body was found on the side of East 16th Street in the South Linden neighborhood with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say Goodman had been riding in the same vehicle as 26-year-old Michael Javon Merchant when Merchant shot him for reasons that remain unclear. Merchant fled but was later captured in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is facing murder charges; he is awaiting extradition back to Ohio. The Columbus Police Department has treated Merchant as armed and dangerous and asked the public to provide tips rather than approach him.

Goodman’s family remembered him for his love of football and his dedication to his three daughters. Does anyone in the South Linden area that night have information that could help investigators close this case?
