Shermon Lindsey Jr., a 46-year-old Black man, was shot and killed inside a Columbus home in the early hours of August 9, 2023. Police were dispatched shortly before 1 a.m. to the 1200 block of Elderwood Avenue on a report of a robbery and home invasion; the initial call was logged about 12:54 a.m. Medics pronounced Lindsey dead at the scene after officers found him with a gunshot wound.

Two masked intruders described as wearing black fled the house after the break-in. Two other people were in the residence: an adult who was physically assaulted and treated at a hospital and later released, and a juvenile who was not injured. Detectives searched for the two suspects and asked the public for tips, but the media release in the days after the incident listed the suspects as unknown and did not announce arrests or warrants.

Funeral and memorial notices later confirmed Lindsey’s name and age and noted his addition to local gun-violence records. Does anyone who lived near East Livingston Avenue at that time have information or footage that could help investigators?
