Madelyn Cardulla, 20, was killed by gunfire in the early hours of December 16, 2025, on Wynwood Court in Riverside, Ohio. Emergency crews responded just after 1:00 a.m.; the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office later confirmed her identity and said she died at the scene. Riverside police described the death as under investigation and provided only a brief public statement in the days immediately after the shooting.

Her family’s obituary and a community fundraiser emphasize the life cut short: a recent graduate of Stebbins High School who was studying microbiology at Sinclair Community College and working as a microbiology assistant at Solvita. Public reports through late December 2025 did not include a motive, suspect description, or any announced arrests or charges.
