Isaac R. Keels, 23, of Groveport, Ohio, was shot and killed on May 31, 2014 during what police describe as a robbery over a gun sale. Keels, a 2009 Groveport Madison High School graduate and father to a young daughter, arranged to sell a 9mm handgun through a Facebook contact. When he met an 18-year-old buyer near 2581 Sandbury Blvd., the buyer pulled a small-caliber handgun and demanded the gun without paying. A 17-year-old cousin drove him to a fire station; he was later pronounced dead at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.

The buyer, identified as Ishmael D. Humphrey, was arrested and charged with murder. Court records show a guilty plea to one count of murder and a life sentence with no parole for 15 years. Isaac is survived by his fiancée Miranda Lucas, their daughter Isabella Rose Keels, and an unborn daughter, Ivy. His mother Monica Keels has spoken about the family’s lasting grief; the family established the Isaac Keels Memorial Fund to help care for his children.

Does anyone have information about the meeting near Sandbury Blvd. or about Isaac’s final day that could add detail to the timeline?
