Rosalie Annabella Martin was 4 years old when she was fatally struck by gunfire on January 22, 2025, in St. Clair Township, Ohio. She was at a nearby business when shots were fired after officers responded to a report of a suicidal man walking on St. Clair Avenue. Rosalie was flown to a hospital but later died of her injuries; private arrangements were handled by Everhart-Bove Funeral Homes.

Police say officers engaged a suspect identified as Joseph Como, who opened fire during the encounter. Detective Dakota Wetzel was shot in the head and taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he was in intensive care and showed signs of responsiveness. Como was shot by officers and later died; autopsies were scheduled for both Rosalie Martin and Joseph Como. The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation opened an independent inquiry, and the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office temporarily took over township patrols while local officers processed the scene.

Rosalie, born October 21, 2020, in Steubenville, is survived by her parents Jessel and Jennifer Martin, siblings, grandmothers, uncles and aunts. The community and the Ohio FOP Foundation organized support and fundraising for the families affected. Does anyone have information about Rosalie’s last known whereabouts that could help clarify the timeline around the shooting?
