On January 14, 2025, 17-year-old Khalyn White was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head inside a crashed vehicle in Cleveland, Ohio. He and 16-year-old Julius Barron Jr. were discovered inside a black 2020 Kia Soul at Warner Road and Jeffries Avenue around 1 a.m. The car had been reported stolen two days earlier near Lee Road and Harvard Avenue.

Officers saw 18-year-old Phoenix Brown attempting to flee the scene and took him into custody; police reported his clothing was covered in blood. A Cuyahoga County grand jury later indicted Brown on multiple counts, including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, receiving stolen property, tampering with evidence, and having weapons while under disability. The Cleveland Division of Police continues to investigate the circumstances that led to the shooting and the stolen vehicle.

Did anyone in the community see the Kia Soul or either teen in the days before January 14, 2025?
