Your Child Went to a Party in Bath Township. By Morning, He Was Gone. We are speaking to you, the family. The parent who got a call in the middle of the night. The sibling who found out from a text thread. The grandparent who drove to the hospital and waited in a waiting room that was not designed to hold this kind of silence. A teenager is dead. Eight others were wounded. The event was a large-scale party held at a mansion in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio, in November 2025. The mansion was being operated as a short-term rental — the kind of “Airbnb” or “vacation rental” property that local zoning was written to keep out of residential neighborhoods for exactly the kind of reason that played out on that night. The property owner and the rental operator profited from the booking. The event promoter (or promoters) profited from the party. Security personnel were either absent, understaffed, or grossly inadequate. And an armed individual gained access to a venue where young people had been gathered with no real safety plan, and where the path to the front door was as wide open as the cash register on the…

A Father’s Phone Rang at 12:30 a.m. and Never Stopped Ringing It was the first weekend of November. Your son, or your daughter’s friend, or the kid you said goodnight to on Friday, was at a birthday party at a house in Bath Township — one of those Summit County streets where the lots are wide, the trees are old, and the houses have always been homes, not venues. By the time the gunfire stopped, an 18-year-old was dead, shot eight times. Nine others, most of them teenagers, were wounded. Thirteen different 911 calls came in that night. The dispatchers heard the same word over and over: shooting. And a voice on one of those recordings, as the township’s police chief later confirmed, simply said: “blood everywhere.” If you are reading this in the days, weeks, or months after that night, you are not here for a news summary. You are here because the person you raised, or loved, or simply cannot stop thinking about, was taken from you in a way the law is designed to address — and the people who profited from the house where it happened are not facing anything yet. We built this page for…

The Day That Was Supposed to Be a Birthday A mother is sitting in a house with a bedroom that still holds her son’s things, a calendar that still has his name on it, and a phone she keeps checking because some part of her still believes the screen is going to light up. Her son, Elijah Wells, was eighteen. He went to what was supposed to be a birthday party at a large house on Top-O-The-Hill Drive in Bath Township, Summit County, Ohio on the night of November 2, 2025. By the time the sun came up on the third of November, gunfire had torn through that house, nine people had been hit, and Elijah was fighting for his life. He died days later. He was a phenomenal person, and the world is going to take a big loss without him. A young man named Reginald “Reggie” Hart, who was nineteen at the time, was inside that home for only about ten minutes before the shooting started. He dropped to the kitchen floor for cover and was still struck multiple times in the back and feet. More than seven months later, he continues to suffer from serious injuries. He…

We Are Talking to a Mother Who Has Now Buried Three of Her Children If you are reading this page, you have lost someone to gun violence at a house that was never supposed to be hosting that party. You may have watched your son bleed out in an unfamiliar neighborhood, or held his hand while a hospital team tried to save him, or sat across from a detective who told you the shooters are still unidentified. You are now being asked by strangers — police, prosecutors, reporters, neighbors, well-meaning friends — to make decisions at a time when you can barely get out of bed. We are not going to tell you that money fixes anything. Nothing fixes the empty chair. We will tell you what Ohio law actually does for a family in your position, what is at stake, who can be held responsible, what evidence is on a clock that may already be running out, and how we work. We have worked catastrophic-death cases across Ohio for more than two decades, and we will sit with you in your kitchen or your living room, on your schedule, in English or in Spanish, and walk through every option…
