Amir Jamiel Kirby was 18 and living in the area when he was fatally shot on December 28, 2015, in Columbus, Ohio. The shooting occurred about 2:30 p.m. on Rodgers Avenue, north of West Broad Street, after police say Kirby was attempting to break into a home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police questioned the homeowner who said he acted in self-defense. Detectives did not release the resident’s name, and no charges had been filed in connection with the shooting; investigators concluded the homeowner acted in self-defense. Kirby worked as a stock clerk at a Walmart in Middletown and was remembered at a funeral held January 9, 2016, in Middletown, New York.

What details about that afternoon or the surrounding investigation might help clarify exactly what happened?
