Honoring Garrett Burton’s Legacy: A Columbus Community’s Mission to Prevent Youth Violence

Honoring Garrett Burton’s Legacy Through Community Action

Columbus Ohio – Outside a home in Galloway, Ohio, a simple painted rock stands as a touching tribute. Colored blue with a drawing of Winnie the Pooh and marked “Garrett” (1992–2008), it quietly tells a story of tragedy and hope.

Garrett Burton was just 16 when he was shot and killed by an unidentified gunman on August 30, 2008. He and his friends had been throwing eggs at passing cars when they were confronted. Garrett was shot and died at the scene. The suspect has never been found, and his case remains open.

Now, Garrett’s older brother, Georden Burton, is honoring Garrett’s legacy by turning grief into community action. As a youth mentor at the Boys & Girls Club of Central Ohio, Georden devotes his life to helping young people avoid the paths that lead to violence.

“Most teenagers make mistakes and live to learn from them. Garrett didn’t get that chance,” said Georden.

To mark National Youth Violence Prevention Week, Georden is raising awareness about safer, healthier choices for teens. His efforts include helping kids find outlets to express anger, pain, and stress—before tragedy strikes.

“Turn your pain into purpose. I’ve been through trauma and depression, and I use that experience to guide others,” Georden shares.

His office is filled with thank-you notes from the teens whose lives he’s impacted. His advice to youth is simple: “Don’t make a permanent choice based on a temporary feeling.”

In Garrett’s honor, the Boys & Girls Club of Central Ohio will host its Opportunity Fair & Mental Health Resource Rally on June 20 from 5–8 p.m. at the Milo-Grogan Club. This event will provide high school students with access to local universities, military recruiters, job opportunities, and mental health support.

For the first time, the rally will also feature a youth-led gun violence prevention initiative focused on healing, accountability, and strengthening community connections.

Seventeen years after Garrett’s death, the pain still runs deep. But through mentoring and advocacy, Georden and the Columbus community are committed to honoring Garrett Burton’s legacy and creating a safer future for the next generation.

Columbus Residents Welcome City’s Improvement Plans in 4 Columbus Corridors

Columbus , OH – Columbus residents are feeling hopeful as the city’s revitalization plans bring noticeable improvements to four major corridors. Recent efforts under the “Clean and Safe Corridor Initiative” have transformed areas like Parsons Avenue, where new trees, freshly painted crosswalks, and cleaner streets are now visible.

Over two weeks in early April, city teams collected 514 bags of litter, met with property owners about compliance issues, and addressed safety concerns. The city invested $164,000 in labor and infrastructure, alongside a $165,000 grant to the South Side Thrive Collaborative to ensure continued progress.

Residents like Sheila Eubanks and Barbara Thornton have seen positive changes firsthand. Eubanks shared her hope that cleaner streets will encourage homeowners to maintain their properties and help reduce crime rates. Thornton emphasized the need for the initiative to expand deeper into South Side neighborhoods.

Beyond Parsons Avenue, community-driven events are making an impact. On April 27, about 20 volunteers and members of the Hilltop Arts Collective gathered along West Broad Street for a cleanup and celebrated the creation of a new mural above the overpass. Emily Smith, Hilltop Arts Collective’s Engagement Chair, praised the community spirit, noting how small actions like trash cleanup contribute greatly to neighborhood pride.

Work continues across Columbus corridors, with projects underway on Sullivant Avenue, upcoming improvements scheduled for Livingston Avenue (May 10–30), and North High Street in the Short North (June 9–20). Through the 311 system, Columbus residents can share feedback to help guide future developments.

Local business owners, like Letef Barrow of Sonny’s Barbershop on Sullivant Avenue, see the revitalization as a game-changer. Barrow advocates for better marketing support for businesses and more parks and safe spaces for families.

Mayor Andrew Ginther confirmed that additional funding from the capital budget will enhance infrastructure, lighting, security, and community spaces, reinforcing the city’s dedication to building stronger, safer neighborhoods for all Columbus residents.

School Janitor Arrested in Central Ohio for Distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material

A school janitor in Central Ohio has been arrested for allegedly distributing child sexual abuse material. Rick Andermatt, 41, was apprehended by Columbus Police after being involved in inappropriate conversations with a minor. These exchanges led to the creation and distribution of explicit content.

Court records reveal that Andermatt, who worked at Indian Trail Elementary School in Columbus, Ohio, exchanged explicit photos with a 16-year-old victim. They had also arranged to meet in person. However, the victim did not attend the same school where Andermatt was employed.

The district emphasized the importance of student safety, assuring the public that none of their students were involved in the case.

Andermatt faces two serious charges: one for pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor and another for pandering obscenity involving a minor.

Franklin County Deputy Robert Lampkin Reinstated After Felony Charge Dropped

In an official update, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that Deputy Robert Lampkin, 32, will return to active duty on April 27. Lampkin had previously been demoted from sergeant and placed on unpaid administrative leave following his arrest by Pataskala police earlier this month.

The sheriff’s office stated that the decision comes after a Licking County Common Pleas Court dismissed a felony fleeing charge against Lampkin during an April 24 probable cause hearing. While he will resume duty, Lampkin remains under internal investigation and still faces misdemeanor traffic charges, including accusations of driving over 100 mph in a 45 mph zone.

Court records reveal that on April 16, Lampkin was arrested after allegedly running a red light, failing to use a turn signal, and leading police on a high-speed pursuit through Pataskala. After reportedly crashing in a parking lot, Lampkin surrendered and informed officers of his employment with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. He claimed he panicked after realizing he was being pursued.

Deputy Lampkin, who joined the sheriff’s department in 2020, was still in his probationary period following a recent promotion to sergeant at the time of the incident. His unpaid leave officially ended on April 25.

Ohio Supreme Court to Rule on Same-Sex Parental Rights Case

Ohio Supreme Court to Rule on Same-Sex Parental Rights Case

Columbus, OH – This week, the Ohio Supreme Court heard arguments regarding a case that could have significant implications for how parentage laws apply to same-sex couples. The case centers on Priya Shahani and Carmen Edmonds, a couple from Ohio who raised three children together through artificial insemination but separated before same-sex marriage was legalized in the state.

Though Shahani was the biological mother of the children, both parents legally recognized each other as equal co-parents and gave their children the hyphenated last name “Edmonds-Shahani.” However, the couple never legally married, and their relationship ended in 2015, just before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional.

The case escalated when Shahani removed “Edmonds” from their children’s last name and sought to terminate their formal parenting agreement. Edmonds subsequently petitioned the court in 2017 to establish her parental rights. However, the Hamilton County Juvenile Court ruled that Edmonds, as a non-biological parent and an unmarried partner, did not meet Ohio’s definition of a “parent.”

Following this, the trial court allowed Edmonds to maintain “companionship time” with the children but did not grant her the legal parentage she sought. Both parties appealed the decision, with the First District Appellate Court ordering further proceedings to determine if the couple would have married had same-sex marriage been legal at the time.

Shahani’s legal team argued that Ohio law does not permit retroactive marriages, while Edmonds’ lawyers claimed that the children’s identity and Edmonds’ parental rights were unfairly denied. This legal battle brings into question the future of same-sex parenting rights in Ohio and could have a lasting impact on how non-biological parents in same-sex relationships are treated under state law.
