The two adults in the Allen County Jail are Keion Darden and Jaquan Glenn, both are 18-years-old and according to the jail’s website, they are facing murder, aggravated burglary, and aggravated robbery charges. Since the rest are under 18-years-old, their names have not been released yet. But they were taken to the Allen County Juvenile detention facility.
On Friday (6/10), Lima Police officers got a call from a person at 764 W. Lane Ave. just before 6 am. for a potential home invasion and shooting.
There they found Halpern dead from a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Through the initial investigation, the detectives learned that several people were involved in an attempted robbery at the home and had forced their way inside. Detectives say that Halpern had attempted to stop the intruders and was shot and killed. This is the first homicide in Lima this year.
