Savon Anthony Pullie was 21 when he died on January 12, 2020. He lived in Canal Winchester, Ohio, and was born October 22, 1998, to Todd Pullie and Tiffany Sealscott. A 2017 graduate of Reynoldsburg High School, he was described as well-loved by family and friends.

On January 12, 2020, while driving near Georges Creek Drive in Canal Winchester, his vehicle was shot by 19-year-old Darnell Rashan Walton. After being struck, the vehicle crashed into a townhome and ignited a fire that spread to a neighboring townhouse. Savon’s body was found inside the vehicle; a passenger, Todd Hammond Jr., escaped with minor injuries.

Police later issued a murder warrant for Walton; witnesses identified him as the shooter and he was arrested in east Columbus and charged with murder. A memorial gathering was held and donations were encouraged to the Reynoldsburg High School Athletics Department in his memory.
