(9-13-25) On 9/13/2025, at about 2:30 a.m., a vehicle was shot at several times, in the 2200 block of Molly Avenue.  The Lima Police Department was alerted to the shots fired through 9-1-1 calls originating from the Brower Commons Apartment Complex. 

Shortly thereafter, a mid-size SUV arrived at Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center, with a 17 year old, Logan County, female passenger suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck.  The female received initial treatment for serious injuries and was ultimately transferred to OSU Hospital in Columbus. 

As detectives investigated, they learned that two car loads of Logan County juveniles were visiting someone at the apartment complex.  As they left the complex, more than one male subject ran in the direction of the vehicles and fired several shots into the SUV, resulting in the 17-year-old female being shot.  The vehicles left the complex  eastbound on Brower Road, eventually ending up at St. Rita’s Medical Center.   

Investigators spoke to several occupants from the two vehicles, including the victim, and an initial person of interest.  We will continue to obtain and pursue video from the area as the investigation progresses. 

At this time, no names are being released. 

If anyone has any information in reference to this incident, please contact the Lima Police Department Detective Bureau, or call CrimeStoppers at (419)229-7867.
