Josiah Gardner was 17 when he was killed in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 5, 2025. Local memorial pages and a funeral home obituary list his name and age and record his sunset date as October 5, 2025, and family and classmates left candles, tributes and condolences as they prepared services in Cuyahoga County.

The funeral notice gave visitation and burial arrangements and painted a picture of a teenager well known and mourned by peers and family. Public memorials and the obituary confirm the death and the community response but contain no investigative updates.

As of the latest public postings, authorities have not announced arrests or named suspects in connection with his killing. Does anyone who knew Josiah or who was in that part of Cleveland on October 5, 2025, have information that could help?
