A 22-year-old Lima man was found dead with a gunshot wound in a yard at a home on 4th street Thursday night.
A Lima funeral home is joining others across the nation in sending their well-wishes to the family of Kobe and Gianna Bryant after a tragic helicopter crash just over a week ago. Jones-Clark Funeral Home has set up a special registry book people can stop in and sign. They decided to put the book together after hearing other funeral homes are doing the same thing. Eventually, the book will be sent out to a funeral home in California, where it will make its way to the Bryant family. It's a chance to send out a message to show people care, despite the fact that most, if not all, of the people that will sign the book here in Lima never even met anyone involved in the crash.
The two teens charged in shooting on Collett Street on Mother's Day made their first appearance in juvenile court.
