On Dec. 30, 2018, Noah Kinser was shot and killed during a home invasion at his apartment on North First Street in Miamisburg. Another teen was shot but survived, the prosecutor’s office said.
“Armed individuals entered the victim’s Miamisburg apartment, to commit a robbery,” the prosecutor’s office said in a release. “During the robbery, shots were fired which struck two victims.”
“Victim Noah Kinser died from his injuries. The other shooting victim, a female who at the time was 14 years old, was shot,” prosecutors said.
The pair will be sentenced by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Richard Skelton. A court document says that attorneys may present evidence within the eight- to 15-year sentencing range.
Prosecutors tried co-defendant Chaz Gillilan earlier this year, and Gillilan was convicted. He was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.
During the sentencing hearing for Gillilan, Kinser’s mother spoke to the judge and said her son was a piece of her heart that is now gone forever. She said that Kinser was a caring, funny person, and he is missed by his friends and family.
