Findlay Police Department October 28, 2024 --- The Findlay Police Department held a news conference Thursday to release new details and body camera footage of the Findlay shooting in which a police officer shot and killed a teenager. The Lucas County Coroner’s Office identified the teen who died as 17-year-old Kalvin Darapheth. Findlay Police said officers were dispatched to Bernard Park around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 28 for a report of three juveniles drinking alcoholic beverages. Police said the kids were a 13-year-old boy, a 16-year-old girl, and a 17-year-old boy. Police said when officers arrived on the scene, Darapheth ran away and an officer began to chase him. During the chase, Darapheth fired two shots toward the officers, and one of the officers returned fire. During the news conference, police revealed the officer who shot the teen is a four year veteran of the department. He fired his weapon eight times. The other responding officer was a 10 year veteran who did not fire their weapon. The autopsy determined Darapheth died of multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities called it a “dangerous and tragic situation,” adding that it’s been traumatic for everyone involved. Two officers are off on traumatic incident leave, which is standard protocol. Authorities said the two officers involved had not previously had any traumatic incidents, and the last time the department had a police shooting was ten years ago.
