Jamareil Caldwell was 18 when he was found dead from a gunshot wound in a parking lot behind 1551 Bryden Road in Columbus, Ohio, on October 16, 2018. Police were called about 2:37 a.m. to a male lying in the lot; paramedics pronounced Caldwell dead shortly after their arrival. Investigators say multiple gunshots had been heard nearby on Fairwood Avenue around 2:23 a.m., where Caldwell and an acquaintance had been earlier that night.

It is believed Caldwell was struck there and the acquaintance then drove him to the Bryden Road location before someone called police. The case remains unsolved and local law enforcement and Crime Stoppers are seeking information that could identify those responsible.

If anyone has tips or remembers activity on Fairwood Avenue or around Bryden Road that night, please come forward.
