Why this file is stamped CHARGED: The stamp records only the position as it stands on 15 November 2026. On Wednesday 11 November 2026, at about 6:30 p.m., officers from the Columbus Division of Police went to the 3200 block of Rabbit Hill Lane, on the city's Southeast Side, after a report of a shooting, and found Dereon Williams, 18, with a gunshot wound.

Turner-Johnson was arrested on Saturday 14 November. As of that day, Cherry and Turner-Johnson were in the Franklin County jail, and Tion Knight and Teiona Knight had warrants out for their arrest. A charge is an accusation, not a conviction: every person named in this file is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law, and no trial has taken place and no verdict has been reached.

THE CASE
Wednesday evening on Rabbit Hill Lane
On Wednesday 11 November 2026, at about 6:30 p.m., officers from the Columbus Division of Police went to the 3200 block of Rabbit Hill Lane, near Rosebriar Lane, on the Southeast Side of Columbus, Ohio, after a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found Dereon Williams, 18, with a gunshot wound. Medics took him to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, where he died at about 9:30 p.m. That is the account given by The Columbus Dispatch, reporting from a police news release and online court records, and it is the whole of the public record of the evening itself.
The Dispatch's report is short on the evening and long on what followed, and this file follows the same proportion. Nothing in the reporting read for this file says who Williams was beyond his name, his age, and his city. He is named here because the police named him, in a public release, as the young man found shot on Rabbit Hill Lane — and nothing more about his life is in the reporting read for it. A memorial graphic shared on local social pages gives a birth date and calls the place Riverside Trail Apartments, but neither detail comes from any police or court source read for this file, so neither is used here.
The City of Columbus's own homicide-report listing carries the case as "260850823: Dereon Williams — 3200 [Block] Rabbit Hill Ln." The street name matters, because the two Dispatch reports do not spell it the same way: the first says Rabbit Hill Lane, the second says Rabbit Hill Drive. This file uses "Lane" and records the difference in the fact log rather than choosing silently.
What the first report did say, plainly, was that the shooting was not treated as random. Police said Cherry was part of a group that planned the shooting, and that other suspects would likely be charged. No motive was given. No weapon was described.
The first arrest
The case moved the next day. On Thursday 12 November 2026, police arrested Julius Diyanni Cherry, 21, of the Southeast Side, and charged him with murder in connection with the shooting on Rabbit Hill Lane. The charge came from a news release and online court records, according to The Columbus Dispatch, and a WBNS-10TV report the same week said the same thing in the same words: police believed it was a planned murder, and more arrests might come.
As of the morning of Friday 13 November, Cherry remained at the Franklin County jail, awaiting an arraignment. The reporting read for this file gives no arraignment date, no plea, and no lawyer for him, and this file does not fill those gaps. What it does record is the sequence the police themselves set out: a shooting on Wednesday evening, a first arrest on Thursday, and a warning that more charges were likely. Within a day, that warning was proved right.
Three more charged
On Friday 13 November 2026, three more people were charged in the death of Dereon Williams. Anthony Turner-Johnson, 18, and Tion Knight, 18, were charged with murder. Teiona Knight, 36, was charged with complicity, a second-degree felony. They joined Cherry, who already faced a murder charge after police said he was part of a group of people who planned the shooting.
The new charges rest on documents filed in the Franklin County Municipal Court, and the Dispatch's account of them is careful about what is alleged and what is established. A police detective alleged that Teiona Knight texted her son, Tion Knight, from her vehicle on the night of Williams's death, telling him that she had seen Williams outside walking toward a convenience store near their home on the 3200 block of Rabbit Hill Drive. She then sat in her vehicle and watched as her son and two others ran from her home and fired handguns at Williams, police alleged in a criminal complaint.
That is an allegation in a complaint, not a finding. This file states it as the detective's allegation, because that is what it is. The same care applies to the second document. In a probable cause affidavit for Tion Knight, a detective wrote that security video showed him and two other men stalking Williams before shooting and killing him. The affidavit is the detective's account of what the video shows; the video itself has not been made public, and this file does not describe anything beyond what the detective is reported to have written.
Two things in those documents deserve to be kept separate, because the reporting keeps them separate. The first is the text message: it is alleged that Teiona Knight told her son where Williams was, and that she then watched from her vehicle. The second is the security video: it is said to show three men following Williams before the shooting. The documents do not name the two other men in the video, and this file does not guess who they were. Cherry and Turner-Johnson are the other two men charged with murder, but no reporting read for this file says they are the two men in the video, and the file does not say so either.
The mother is the part of this case that drew the most attention when the charges were announced, and the attention is understandable: a mother charged with complicity in the killing of an 18-year-old, on the allegation that she pointed her own son toward the victim and then watched. But attention is not evidence. The complicity charge is a second-degree felony, and it is an accusation like the others. Whether the text was sent, whether she watched, and what the law makes of it if both are proved, are questions for a court. Until then, the file records the allegation and nothing more.
In custody, and wanted
By Saturday 14 November, the position was this: police had arrested Cherry on Thursday 12 November and Turner-Johnson on Saturday 14 November, and as of then both remained at the Franklin County jail. Tion Knight and Teiona Knight had warrants for their arrest. That is the Dispatch's account of the custody position on Saturday, and it is the latest position in the reporting read for this file.
Two of the four charged were in jail. Two were wanted. No reporting read for this file says whether the two wanted people were arrested after Saturday, whether any of the four had appeared in court, or whether any lawyer had been named for any of them. The police had said, on the first day, that other suspects would likely be charged, and by Friday three more had been charged. Whether further charges follow, or the case now moves to court, is not in the public record read for this file.
The police also left the public a way in. The Dispatch's first report printed the number for the Columbus police Homicide Unit, 614-645-4730, and for Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, 614-461-8477, for anyone with information about the shooting. Both numbers are carried in this file, in the tip box below, because the investigation was described as active and the appeal was still open when the charges were announced.
The street name, and the spellings
A file built on two reports from the same paper should not hide it when the two reports disagree, even on something small. The first Dispatch report, of Friday 13 November, puts the shooting on the 3200 block of Rabbit Hill Lane, near Rosebriar Lane. The second, of Saturday 14 November, puts the Knights' home on the 3200 block of Rabbit Hill Drive. The City of Columbus's homicide listing says "Rabbit Hill Ln." A WBNS-10TV report says Rabbit Hill Lane. Three sources against one, and the one is the same paper's second-day copy. This file uses "Lane" throughout, and records the "Drive" spelling here and in the fact log so that a reader searching for either spelling finds the same file.
The names need the same care. Social reposts spell the victim "Darian Williams" in one television summary and "Drayon Williams" in one video report, and the Knights appear as "Tian" and "Tiona" in another. The Dispatch, the City of Columbus's homicide listing, and the court documents as reported by the Dispatch all spell them Dereon Williams, Tion Knight and Teiona Knight. This file uses those spellings, and does not repeat the others except here.
What the charges mean, and what they do not
Four people charged does not mean four people convicted, and it does not mean four people who did the same thing. Three are charged with murder. One is charged with complicity, a second-degree felony. The public record does not say what each of the four is alleged to have done beyond what the court documents allege about the Knights — a text, a watching, a video of three men — and it does not say what part, if any, Cherry or Turner-Johnson is alleged to have played in the shooting itself. The police said Cherry was part of a group that planned the shooting. That is the only account of planning in the public record, and no motive has been stated by any official source.
Nor does the record say how the four knew each other, or Williams, or how investigators connected them to Rabbit Hill Lane beyond the security video described in the affidavit. What the record does say is the sequence: a shooting on Wednesday evening; a death at about 9:30 p.m.; a first arrest on Thursday; three more charges on Friday; a second arrest on Saturday; and by Saturday evening, four people charged and two of them wanted.
What this file does not do
This file does not name anyone as a murderer, because no one has been convicted of murder. It names four people as charged, and says at every point that a charge is an accusation. It does not describe the shooting in graphic detail, because the reporting does not: the police account is a young man found with a gunshot wound, taken to hospital, and dead three hours later, and this file does not go beyond it. It states no motive, because none has been stated, and no relationship between Williams and any of the four, because none has been stated. It uses no booking photograph: the tiered real-photo rule and the sensitivity of a live case with charged, living people keep this file on illustrations.
It does not repeat the speculation that circulated on social media about the case, including comments about the people charged and about Columbus. None of it comes from any official source, and none of it is in this file. The court documents are reported as allegations; the police statements are attributed; the charges are stated. Everything else is labelled as what it is: a single outlet's report, a spelling difference, or an open question.
It also uses no family material. No family photograph, no memorial image, and no social-media post from the family appears in this file. The facts come from the police, the court documents as reported by The Columbus Dispatch, and the city's own homicide listing. That is the whole of the record this file is built on, and the file does not reach beyond it.
Until a court acts, or the police say more, the file stays open, stamped CHARGED.

STILL UNKNOWN
- What was the motive? Police said Cherry was part of a group that planned the shooting. No motive has been stated by any official source.
- Who is alleged to have fired the shots? The probable cause affidavit is said to describe security video showing three men, but the public record does not say which of the four charged people is alleged to have fired.
- What part is each of the four alleged to have played? Beyond the court-document allegations about the Knights, the public record does not assign roles, and this file does not guess at them.
- Where are Tion Knight and Teiona Knight? As of Saturday 14 November 2026, warrants were out for their arrest. No later position is in the reporting read for this file.
- When will the four appear in court, and who represents them? Cherry was awaiting an arraignment as of the morning of Friday 13 November. No court date and no lawyer has been reported for any of the four.
- Is the street Rabbit Hill Lane or Rabbit Hill Drive? The first Dispatch report, the City of Columbus homicide listing and WBNS-10TV say Lane; the second Dispatch report says Drive. This file uses Lane and records the difference.
- Will further charges follow? Police said on the first day that other suspects would likely be charged, and three more were charged on Friday. Whether more follow is unknown.
- What happens next? The investigation was described as active, and the police appeal is still open. Whether the two wanted people are arrested, or the case moves to court, is unknown.
What would change this file: if Tion Knight or Teiona Knight is arrested, if any of the four appears in court, enters a plea, or goes to trial, if a verdict follows, or if the police make a further statement, this file will be updated with the date, the source, and the new stamp if the facts require it — never quietly rewritten. Until then, the stamp stays CHARGED.

The case had not been covered by any earlier DHF run. No competing trending candidate qualified: the Lumberton/Horry County teen case (missing 16-year-old found, sexual-exploitation charges) was skipped under the sensitivity lock for child-victim sexual-abuse topics; Kylie Arellano is DHF-042; Madison Copenheaver is DHF-080; the Bullhead City desert-killing couple is DHF-090; Nancy Guthrie is DHF-003 (the Rio Rico detainment and release is an update to that file, not a new file); the Carmen Nunez killing in the Bronx (14 November 2026) rests on a single full report with the suspect unnamed and charges pending, and its record is too thin for a full dossier; the Bayli Sellars case is a 2022 event, so it fails the latest-only rule; the Chloe Watson case in Leeds (16-year-old victim, March 2026) rests for its November development on a social-media explainer reel and carries graphic detail about a child victim; the Dakota Norwood case in Hammond, Indiana (2 November 2026) rests on a social-media video with a sensational unverified claim; the Tiara Gamble case in Baltimore (6 November 2026) rests on a single social-media creator video; the Cedric Garrett case in Vicksburg, Mississippi (13 November 2026) rests on a single Facebook graphic; the Melissa Dragon missing-attorney case rests on a police Facebook flyer and a newsletter only; the Malik Abass case in Toronto rests on a low-quality aggregator and names a 17-year-old suspect; the Mateo Villegas missing-teen case in Gilbert, Arizona, rests on a single local outlet.
