Tony Crane, 20, of Fishers, Indiana, was found dead of a gunshot wound at about 12:43 a.m. on March 23, 2025, inside the Delta Theta Sigma fraternity house at 780 Rombach Avenue in Wilmington, Ohio. Emergency responders pronounced him deceased at the scene, and his body was sent to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office for examination.

Crane was a sophomore at Wilmington College, active on the football team, in the agriculture program, and a member of Delta Theta Sigma. The college canceled classes on March 24, 2025, and offered counseling and campus ministry services as the community grieves. Authorities recovered a firearm at the scene and said preliminary findings suggest a possible suicide, though investigators are still gathering evidence and collaborating with the Clinton County Coroner’s Office. Police say there is no indication of an ongoing threat and ask anyone with information to contact Detective Matt Hamilton at the Wilmington Police Department.

If anyone knew Tony or has information about the circumstances that night, please come forward to the Wilmington Police Department.
