On December 31, 2023, 41-year-old Sandros Pac Boddie Jr. of Lima, Ohio, was fatally shot during an altercation at a residence on North Glenwood Avenue. Deputies from the Allen County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a fight with gunfire and found Boddie deceased inside the garage from an apparent single gunshot wound.

The shooting followed a day of drinking and playing dominos with a friend, 46-year-old Djuan McLaurin Sr. As Boddie attempted to leave, reportedly saying he was going home if he was not going to be shot, McLaurin shot him in the head.

Boddie was remembered as an avid sports fan who enjoyed dominos and cards and cherished family time at cookouts where he was known as the family’s best chef. He is survived by his wife, Ijeanna IG Boddie, his children, and a large extended family.

If anyone was present that day or has information about the events on North Glenwood Avenue, please come forward.
