Korben D. Westberry, a 24-year-old male from Columbus, Ohio, tragically died on November 5, 2022, due to violence. He was born on May 29, 1998, and was known to his friends as "Skuzz," an avid gamer. Korben is survived by his mother, Bobbi Westberry, and his brother, Gavin M. Baker, among other family members.
The incident leading to Korben's death involved a confrontation with 23-year-old Charlie Sanders.
According to court records, Sanders was asked to leave a residence on Radnor Avenue but refused to do so. Korben was called to assist in asking Sanders to leave, and upon his arrival, Sanders allegedly shot Korben in front of multiple witnesses before fleeing the scene. Korben was taken to Riverside Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Charlie Sanders was later charged with murder and a $2 million bond was set for him. A preliminary hearing for Sanders was scheduled for November 18, 2022. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing, and Sanders has been cooperative with authorities.
Korben's death has deeply affected his family and friends, who remember him as someone who didn't know a stranger and was dearly loved by many. He was laid to rest at Sunset Cemetery in Galloway, Ohio.
