Haylen M. Tabor was a 16-year-old sophomore at Lancaster High School who died on January 26, 2021, at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus from injuries sustained when he was shot during a robbery at an apartment on E Locust Street in Lancaster. The incident involved a group that included 21-year-old Brandon McNally and three 16-year-old boys who broke into the apartment.

Authorities charged McNally and the juveniles with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery; McNally was held on a $1.5 million bond and faced up to life in prison if convicted. Haylen’s family and friends remembered him for his cheerful personality and love of basketball; they held a balloon release and a candlelight vigil, and his mother, Laura Tabor, urged an end to gun violence.

Does anyone have information about that night or knew Haylen and can share details that might help clarify what happened?
