On the evening of June 16, 2026, 16-year-old Anthony Gates was found with gunshot wounds to his chest on Miller Avenue in Trotwood, Ohio. First responders discovered him partially in the road and on the grass; he was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead. The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office identified him as the victim.

Trotwood police launched an investigation. A 911 call referenced a possible drive-by and mentioned a Hyundai Tucson leaving the area, and officers said detectives were trying to retrace Anthony’s movements in the 24 hours before the shooting. No vehicles were at the scene, and in the days that followed no arrests were reported and no suspects were publicly named.

Anthony’s family described him as someone taken by people he trusted and considered friends, and a GoFundMe page was established to help with funeral expenses. The case remains unsolved. Does anyone who knew Anthony or who was in the Miller Avenue area on June 16 have information that could help investigators?
