The story of Terrance Washington

Terrance Washington was a young man described by his family as a motivated student with hopes for higher education. At 19, he had earned recognition as an honor student and had spoken about plans to continue his studies at Ohio State University — a goal that reflected his commitment to learning and the future he and his loved ones imagined for him.

Family accounts identify his mother, Katina Anderson, as a central figure grieving his loss; in public statements she emphasized how much Terrance meant to his family and community. Those close to him remember a young person with potential — a student making plans and a son whose future mattered deeply to those who knew him.

The available public record about Terrance’s life beyond school and family is limited in formal memorial notices. News coverage of the events surrounding his death focused on the criminal investigation and subsequent legal developments; these reports confirm his age, the date around his death, and the family’s statements about his academic standing and plans. Because there is no published, family‑authorized obituary located that matches the exact death date in the public funeral‑home or obituary archives consulted, this page honors the life details that can be verified while respectfully acknowledging what is not publicly documented.

Terrance’s life — his achievements in school and his plans for college — are what remain most important to remember. Though the public record is sparse, the facts that are reported point to a young person with ambition and people who loved him. This page is offered as a quiet remembrance of that promise and the family who carries his memory forward.
