Kamal Walters, 23, of Columbus, Ohio, was fatally shot in the early hours of March 7, 2025, at a home on Montmorency Drive in the Cherry Hill subdivision of Pickerington. Pickerington police got a 911 call at 3:43 a.m. reporting that Walters had been shot multiple times and that the suspect had fled in a vehicle. Officers found Walters with multiple gunshot wounds; he died from his injuries.

Police located 19-year-old Samuel Stallworth shortly after the shooting, stopped his vehicle on Hill Road north of Diley Road, and took him into custody without incident. Two firearms were recovered from the vehicle. Authorities say Walters and Stallworth were inside the home with two women when a dispute broke out and Stallworth shot Walters multiple times; the two women were not injured.

A Fairfield County Grand Jury later indicted Stallworth on aggravated murder, two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault and improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation. The investigation is ongoing as officials work to determine the exact nature of the dispute that led to the shooting. Does anyone have information about Walters, his movements that night, or the people who were in the home?
