Lee H. Bussey, 30, of Columbus, Ohio, was shot and killed during an early morning home invasion robbery on June 28, 2016. The attack occurred in the 100 block of North Warren Road on the Hilltop, where two men forced entry and demanded money from five people inside. An armed intruder shot Bussey and Timothy Montgomery; Montgomery survived. The homeowner, Stevie Montgomery, was pistol-whipped and suffered serious facial injuries.

Columbus police arrested 29-year-old Joseph K. Kibby of Hilltop in connection with Bussey’s death. Investigators say Kibby was found near the scene shortly after the incident; lab tests reportedly found gunshot residue on him and DNA from Stevie Montgomery on his clothing. He was charged with murder and felonious assault and held in the Franklin County jail.

Bussey, born April 10, 1986, in Jacksonville, Florida, had attended Grove City High School and was studying HVAC at the American School of Technology. He was remembered as generous and kind and had a strong interest in cars, motorcycles, and supporting The Ohio State Buckeyes.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Bussey or the household on North Warren Road around that date who can add details?
