William Douglas Haney, known as Billy, was 33 when he was fatally shot on July 5, 2015, in Springfield, Ohio. He is remembered by family for his love of his son, DeChaunta Jackson.

Jerome L. Palmer Jr., 35 and also from Springfield, was indicted on aggravated murder, murder and improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle in connection with the killing. The case went to trial; after one day of testimony and eyewitness accounts the jury deliberated less than two hours and returned not guilty verdicts on all charges. During the trial William’s brother Anthony Haney pleaded not guilty to a disorderly conduct charge after an alleged attempt to attack Palmer.
