A late-night Fourth of July pop-up party in a short-term rental on the 800 block of Wilson Avenue ended in gunfire shortly before 2:40 a.m. on July 4, 2025. More than a hundred mostly teenage guests scattered; neighbors called 911 and officers found multiple victims. Seventeen-year-old Cameron Moore, a Black male, was rushed to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center and pronounced dead at 3:09 a.m. Five other people were treated for gunshot wounds that were expected to be survivable, and several of those arrived at hospitals on their own.

Witnesses told reporters the barrage sounded like shots from more than one gun, and detectives publicly appealed for video and tips from anyone who was at the party or who later saw clips online. City leaders said they would examine short-term rental rules after the holiday weekend. The Franklin County Coroner’s Office confirmed Cameron Moore’s identity; police described the investigation as active and said no arrests had been announced.

If anyone attended that gathering or has video or information about what happened that night, please share it with homicide detectives.
