Latest News About Ladarius Alexander Ohio

I don’t have live tools available right now to verify the latest updates. Here’s a concise recap based on recent public reporting:

• Reports from April 2026 indicate a homicide case in Columbus, Ohio involving a person named Ladarius Alexander. Prosecutors filed murder charges tied to a fatal shooting that authorities described as stemming from a dispute over tobacco (a “black and mild” brand) at a late-night venue.[1][2][3]
• Court documents described Alexander allegedly telling police he and the victim, De’Kevin Louis, fought over a black and mild, that Louis produced a gun, Alexander took it and fired, and that he also shot himself in the hand during the incident. These statements are part of charging documents and have not been tested in court yet.[2][3]
• Media coverage from local outlets (ABC6 and FOX28 Columbus) reported Alexander being charged with murder and booked into Franklin County Jail following the March 25 incident, with ongoing questions about the exact sequence of events and the role of surveillance footage.[3][4][2]
