Kenneth Warrington, 53, was found shot six times outside a home on East McKibben Street in Lima, Ohio, in the early morning hours of February 23, 2009. Investigators say the scene suggested a targeted attack rather than a robbery—Warrington still had personal items and money on him.

Prosecutors linked the killing to a relationship dispute: they say Markelus Carter was upset about Warrington’s relationship with Carter’s ex-girlfriend, Sonya Burkholder, and argued the murder was premeditated. Circumstantial evidence cited at trial included 9mm shell casings at the scene that matched ammunition found in Carter’s home and a witness who reported seeing a man in camouflage near the scene around the time of the shooting.

The defense raised procedural concerns during the lengthy trial, including an incident in which Carter and a witness were placed in the same holding cell, and Carter has consistently maintained his innocence. Does anyone have information about Kenneth’s last known movements or that night on East McKibben Street?
