Deangelo Williams Jr., 23, was found unresponsive in his vehicle after it crashed into several parked cars on Kimberly Parkway in Columbus, Ohio, on January 28, 2024. Emergency responders transported him to a hospital shortly after midnight; he was pronounced dead there at 2:41 PM. Investigators determined Williams had suffered a gunshot wound that led to his death.

Police quickly identified 22-year-old Leon Mason as someone who had been in the vehicle with Williams when the shooting occurred. Investigators say video footage and cellphone records placed Mason at the scene, and footage showed a white Ford Mustang, reportedly owned by a friend of Mason, leaving shortly after the shooting. Mason was arrested on March 1, 2024, and indicted on multiple charges including aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder, and domestic violence; he has pleaded not guilty. In May 2024 a second person, Mark Denny, was also indicted on similar charges including aggravated murder and tampering with evidence. The investigation is ongoing as both await trial.

If anyone has information about Williams, the scene on Kimberly Parkway that night, or the white Ford Mustang, please come forward.
